I don't think that's how it works. I can recall special exceptions
for the military in certain circumstances (such as MOAs or military
aircraft on interception missions--which doesn't include training),
but that's all.

Nothing makes government aircraft immune to midair collisions, so
there's no particular reason why they should have any blanket
exemption from Federal air regulations.
