Also known as tactical engagement simulations, force-on-force exercises use laser transmitters (like MILES) and blank ammunition to realistically simulate direct-fire engagements in a field environment. Exercises such as Keris Strike play a pivotal role in increasing the U.S. Army’s ability to work with its international partners across the military spectrum. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
