Field training exercise

For the similarly-named type of experience-based training program, see Field training program.

A field training exercise, generally shortened to the acronym "FTX" or simply referred to as going to "the field", is a coordinated 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 areas, bombing ranges, and even closed-off, typically publicly-accessible areas.
