A Field Training Exercise (FTX) is a scheduled weekend training event designed to develop individual skills, strengthen team cohesion, and improve overall unit readiness. FTXs typically begin Friday evening and conclude Sunday morning.

These events focus on hands-on, scenario-based training in a field environment. Activities may include tactical movement, land navigation, communications, leadership development, medical training, fieldcraft, and other mission-essential tasks.

FTXs are structured to build proficiency through repetition, practical application, and teamwork. Attendance and active participation are critical to maintaining unit capability and effectiveness.
