training missions

Rehearsals before deployment

Training missions are military or organizational exercises designed to develop skills and readiness without actual combat or operational stakes.

Troops conduct training missions to practice tactics, pilots fly them to log hours and rehearse maneuvers, and emergency responders use them to prepare for real crises.

The term extends to video games where preliminary levels teach mechanics before the main campaign: I'm still on the training missions.
