The FSTE is a document that defines the conditions of the opera-tional environment (OE) used to build full spectrum operations (FSO) training scenarios. In this case, the OE consists of four fic-tional countries (Ariana, Minaria, Atropia, and Gorgas) located in the South Caucasus. The FSTE is comprised of four sections: 1) Strategic Overview; 2) OE variables for all four countries; 3) Events List; and 4) Detailed order of battle for all four countries. The FSTE provides the user with a discussion of the conditions and characteristics of the all four OEs for use in scenario building and exercise design.
