An Exercise is a training mission. Unlike normal training which might focus on one skill at a time, an exercise is usually a simulated real life environment where the soldiers are tested on a wide variety of skills. For example, an exercise involving a platoon attack will train the soldiers in individual field craft, while those appointed as leaders in the exercise will be assessed on their leadership and tactics.
An Operation, on the other hand, is carried out in a war or real-life situation. Worldwide, the most famous operation might be Operation Desert Storm which involved the US military forces in the Middle East. In Singapore, Operations are rare. One such Operation is Operation Thunderbolt in 1991 where the Singapore Commandos stormed a hijacked airliner SQ117 and shot dead four hijackers without loss of hostage life.
