Exercise Argonaut: Evacuation Training In Cyprus
Military and civilian experts from 18 nations, including the UK, are in Cyprus taking part in a huge land and maritime exercise.
Called Argonaut, it's designed to simulate how the island would cope with an influx of civilians fleeing a conflict in the Middle East.
It happened for real in 2006, when Israel's war with Hezbollah led to thousands of foreign nationals being evacuted from Lebanon, with hundreds coming through Cyprus.
