This article analyzes how contemporary military training and exercises shape and reify specific modalities of war. Historically, military training has shifted from being individual- and experience-oriented, towards becoming modelled into exercise environments and practices. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with military officers, exercise controllers, and war-game designers, the article distinguishes between tactical training, characterized by military functions embodied through weapon platforms in a demarcated battlespace, and operational training, characterized by administrative and organizational processes embodied through self-referential staff routines. As military exercises integrate the tactical and operational dimensions into a model for warfare, they serve as blueprints for today’s battles at the same time as they perpetuate a martial viewpoint of the world. As a result, preparations for potential future conflicts constitute a fertile ground for apprehending the becoming of war.

演练战争：战术和作战建模如何塑造和具体化军事实践

本文分析了当代军事训练和演习如何塑造和具体化特定的战争形式。从历史上看，军事训练已经从以个人和经验为导向转变为模拟演练环境和实践。本文通过对军官、演习控制员和兵棋设计师的半结构化访谈，区分了战术训练，其特征是通过划定的战场空间中的武器平台体现的军事功能，以及作战训练，其特征是体现在行政和组织过程中。通过自我参照的员工例程。由于军事演习将战术和作战维度整合为战争模型，它们作为当今战争的蓝图，同时也延续了对世界的军事观点。因此，为未来可能发生的冲突做准备是了解战争爆发的肥沃土壤。
