1月5日，第二炮兵某旅演兵场上硝烟四起，一场激烈的“红”“蓝”对抗拉开新年开训序幕。形式多样的对抗火药味十足，打击与反打击、偷袭与反偷袭等30多个演练课目，使官兵在对抗中感受到实战氛围。
"某旅" Means the exercise is launched by a single unit, i.e. a brigade, where portions of the unit acts separately as the "Blue" and "Red" parties, so they are staging a countermeasure exercise against each other.

field manuever of second artillery force


Explanation:
as explained in the dictionary, a manuever is just an exercise carried out under simulated condition of war

对抗演练, in Chinese, means an exercise where two units fight a simulated war with each other.

so I think it is better to use manuever or field manuever here.
