The first exercise was held March 4 thru 12 of 2019, and the second held August 5 thru 20 of 2019. During the August exercise, US President Donald Trump referred to the exercise as "ridiculous and expensive".

Field Training Exercise
A field training exercise, generally shortened to the acronym "FTX", is a coordinated training exercise conducted by military units for training purposes. These are often military simulations conducted in open areas instead of training facilities or military academies, such as training fields, bombing ranges, and even closed-off, typically publicly-accessible areas. In active duty Field training exercises are usually practice "mini-battles" which provide fairly realistic scenarios and situations based on actual situations a unit might face if deployed. While squad and platoon sized units can conduct an FTX, most of these exercises involve units ranging from a company up to a regiment or brigade.

The exercise is usually carefully planned out by field grade or general officers, usually without disclosing plans or other information to company-grade officers. This makes the situation more unpredictable and realistic since ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
