  Training Exercises
  OVERVIEW
  F-1. Training exercises are scenario driven, multiechelon, multi-task training events. When an exercise
  cannot be conducted in a live environment, the commander considers using virtual, constructive, or mixed
  training environments to achieve training objectives. (See the Army Training Network (ATN) at
  https://atn.army.mil for more on training environments.)
  TYPES OF TRAINING EXERCISES
  F-2. There are fifteen foundational Army training exercises. Additionally, unit commanders develop and
  tailor training exercises based on training objectives and the needs of the unit. See table F-1 for the types of
  exercises and their abbreviations.

  COMBINED ARMS LIVE-FIRE EXERCISE
  F-3. A combined arms live-fire exercise (known as CALFEX) is a maneuver exercise that trains and
  evaluates a unit’s ability to maneuver and integrate direct and indirect fires. In this resource-intensive
  exercise, units shoot, move, communicate, and survive while employing organic and supporting weapon
  systems using full-caliber ammunition. (See appendix I for more on the combined arms live-fire exercise.)
  COMMAND POST EXERCISE
  F-4. The command post exercise (known as CPX) is a multiechelon exercise focused on tasks supporting
  communications, command and control systems, and procedures. Units conduct a command post exercise in
  garrison or field locations, replicating an operational environment using a tactical scenario. The command
