collective defense exercise

A collective defense exercise is a coordinated training event where multiple nations or military alliances practice working together to defend against potential threats. These exercises simulate real-world scenarios to enhance collaboration, communication, and operational readiness among participating forces. The goal is to ensure that if an actual attack occurs, all members can respond effectively as a unified team, demonstrating their commitment to mutual security and deterrence. This type of exercise helps identify strengths and areas for improvement in joint defense strategies and capabilities.
