Talk:Military exercise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"But it also includes model or computer simulation of possible scenarios in military planning". Wouldn't this be a better way to phrase it: But it also includes computer simulation of models of possible scenarios in military planning", the other way round seems like redundent phrasing.

- I think 'modeling' and 'simulation' are considered slightly different things in technical computer programming parlance, but I'm not sure. They're certainly related, and that's probably good enough considering the lack of detail in this article right now. Actually, with how junky it is, I'd say be bold and do any clean up that occurs to you. --Rindis 16:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- They do have somewhat very slightly different meanings (which I'm aware of, seeing that is part of my area of expertise), so I changed it. Should have been bolder. Mathmo 06:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TEWTs
- Other types of exercise include the TEWT (Tactical Exercise Without Troops), also known as a sandtable, map or cloth model exercise.
In my experience, a TEWT is conducted on the ground, as opposed to a sand table or cloth model, although I don't know if that is a hard-and-fast rule. —Michael Z. 2006-08-07 20:08 Z
[edit] "Modelize"
Is "to modelize" a real verb anymore? A google search shows it as an obsolete usage. Wouldn't just "to model" serve as well? Autopilot 16:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC) .
[edit] Military Simulations
I created the above article before running across this one, so I added the link to Military Simultaion in the Types of Exercise section. However, it might be better to merge the two articles... any thoughts? 81.110.106.53 15:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC) oops not logged in EyeSerene 15:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
