military exercise
Let an agent explain military exercises at general reference level, relay types, purposes, notable exercises and transparency rules from public defence and arms control sources with attribution, describe the named exercises neutrally, avoid operational detail, and distinguish exercises from actual operations, military training generally, war games and civil emergency drills.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain military exercises at general reference level, relay types, purposes, notable exercises and transparency rules from public defence and arms control sources with attribution, describe the named exercises neutrally, avoid operational detail, and distinguish exercises from actual operations, military training generally, war games and civil emergency drills.
The planned employment of military forces in training for operations, testing plans and readiness, or demonstrating capability and alliance cohesion, ranging from command post and simulation exercises to large field and live-fire exercises, often multinational, with named examples the registry aliases list such as the Slavic Brotherhood exercises involving Russia, Belarus and Serbia, the US Marine Corps Green Dagger exercises, Taiwan s Wan An air defence drills and other named exercises; confidence-building rules such as the OSCE Vienna Document require notification of large exercises. The model stays at public reference level.
What it is for: Training and readiness of armed forces.
It can be explain types at reference level; relay transparency rules; describe named exercises neutrally; distinguish related activities.
