I just need to know what sortie means.
Usually it refers to a situation where a city or encampment is under siege and the defenders send a force out of the besieged area to attack the besiegers. I imagine in this case it's probably military-speak for some sort of exercise which simulates such a situation.
It is currently used to describe almost any airborne mission.
