This was disclosed in a statement made available on Saturday, October 17, by Sagir Musa, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations.
According to him, the 2020 edition is scheduled to commence from Tuesday, October 20 to Thursday, December 31.
The exercise is traditionally conducted in the last quarter of the year.
The 2020 edition of the exercise is expected to be different from the previous ones as it will feature cyber warfare operations.
