What are military exercises?
A military exercise or war game is the employment of military resources in training for military operations, either exploring the effects of warfare or testing strategies without actual combat. This also serves the purpose of ensuring the combat readiness of garrisoned or deployable forces prior to deployment from home base or home station.
Types of military exercises
1. Field Exercises: It is the typical full-scale rehearsal of military maneuvers as practice for warfare.
2. Command Post Exercise: A Command Post Exercise (CPX) typically focuses on the battle readiness of staffs or one of its components at any level.
3. Simulation: This type of exercises allows commanders to manipulate models through possible scenarios in military planning. This is also called warfare simulation. In recent years it is assisted by computer simulation.
4. Joint exercise: Several different armed forces of the same nation training together are described as having a joint exercise
5. Combined exercise :Those involving forces of multiple nations are described as having a combined exercise.
