  Military exercises which result in such amusing news happen quite often. Like the regular invasions of Liechtenstein by "accident". But usually, the invading forces are color coded and not named with real life names. I remember doing one where from the west blue forces, from the north brown forces and from the east red forces were the enemies. It's hard to come up with realistic military scenarios that involve invasions of foreign forces if you are a small landlocked country which is completely surrounded by friendly, democratic countries. :-)
