Morphology

simulated + military + operation

Each constituent is used in its literal sense—'simulated' (made to look real) + 'military' (relating to armed forces) + 'operation' (planned activity)—so the combined phrase straightforwardly denotes a practice activity imitating real combat. This compositional pattern is common across languages and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the parts.

Etymology

The phrase simulated military operation is like a dress rehearsal for war: soldiers act out an operation using simulated weapons and planned moves so it looks real but no one really fights. So, it means 'a practice to prepare for real fighting'.
