A site exercise area (abbr. StOÜbPl) or garrison exercise area (abbreviation GÜPl), outdated: parade ground , is a military facility on which troops or units practice. On-site exercise areas have different characteristics depending on the requirements of the exercising troops, e.g. B. Mountain training area, tank training area, water pioneer training area.

A distinction is also made between exercise areas that are open to the public (declared as " military areas "), for example parts in which no sharp fire is allowed, and exercise areas that are closed to the public for safety reasons (declared as " military safety areas ").

A training area differs from a military training area in that the former is often adjacent to a barracks or is intended for several barracks in one area / district, such as the former Höltigbaum training area . This space was used jointly by the troops stationed in three barracks in eastern Hamburg. A military training area, usually much larger than an on-site training area, is only occasionally visited by units and is usually further away from the home barracks of the training soldiers, so that the entire unit is relocated there for training purposes. The on-site training area is used for various basic training courses that do not involve shooting. However, on-site shooting ranges can also be set up at on-site training areas. In a military training area, however, an emergency is simulated, usually in larger units from battalion upwards. The Holzdorf training site in the Annaburger Heide is the largest training site in Germany at 8,635.9 hectares. In Germany, in addition to the Bundeswehr on-site training areas, US armed forces also operate on-site training areas.
