The term „Strategic Exercise“ refers to comprehensive exercises at strategic level (e. g. cross- ministerial crisis staff, political-administrative staff, cross-sector management staff etc.) It aims at
• improving the integrated ability to react to crises in extreme threat and danger situations (crisis situations) and
• developing a comprehensive coordination and decision-making culture in organisations of the public as well as in the private sector.
