troop exercises

Soldiers practicing combat

Troop exercises are large-scale military training operations where armed forces practice maneuvers, tactics, and coordination.

These drills range from routine field exercises to major operations involving thousands of personnel across land, sea, or air.

Nations sometimes conduct troop exercises near borders as shows of strength or diplomatic signaling: Russia announced troop exercises along the Ukrainian border.
