The "Exercise Scorpion" is a major field training programme designed for penultimate-term trainee O/Cdts. Its primary aim is to equip them with theoretical knowledge of combat team-level military engagements in Internal Security (IS) Operations and provide practical exposure to the execution of such operations in collaboration with civil authorities. The exercise derives its name from the fictional insurgent group "Scorpion" which serves as a basis for simulating sabotage activities that disrupt law and order in a state, upon which military activities are predicated.
