• in large military units, operations is responsible for the movement and supply of troops in a theater of operation

Operations are also actions that can be carried out in a mathematics context, including arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as additional algebraic operations such as factorisation on polynomials and rational expressions
