Sortie
Sortie is a term for deployment of aircraft or ships for the purposes of a specific mission. The origin is from naval usage, but was carried over to aircraft. In French, sortie literally means "go out". It has evolved to mean a short period of conflict, as in the time when the vehicles and vessels are away from their carrier or local berth.
