military exercises
Troops practicing combat
Military exercises are training operations in which armed forces practice combat scenarios, test equipment, and coordinate tactics without actual warfare.
They range from small unit drills to massive multinational operations involving thousands of troops, ships, and aircraft.
Countries often conduct joint exercises with allies to build interoperability, while exercises near borders can serve as shows of force or warnings to adversaries: Russia announced military exercises in response to NATO expansion.
