military exercise

military exercise
A large-scale activity involving military forces from multiple countries or commands, designed to demonstrate the level of alliance between those forces and their ability to coordinate, as a signal to potential military adversaries.

Another major military exercise, codenamed Operation Intrinsic Action held in August 1992, involved the participation of 2400 US troops from the First Cavalry Division at Ford Hood, Texas and members of the Fifth Special Forces Group from Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
