What a terribly written article by someone that heard some words and didn’t understand them, but cranked out an article anyway. Any war “game” conducted at scale will be a named exercise. Anything without a name is just routine training. If the reporter can’t even find that out, then the statement “military about to do classified thing in the near future” is worthless. And even when parts of an exercise are classified, usually the name is unclassified. Exercises with classified names tend to be smaller, narrow in scope, and honestly boring (large force engagements where people travel from all over to participate are way more fun). But yes, the military is about to do a large number of things in the near future, and the president is interested in several of them. That’s normal ops. The exercise is focused on countering Russia or China? Yeah, most of them are. I can’t say the reporter is wrong, just that this article provides no useful information and is a waste of bandwidth and storage on a server somewhere.
