Explanation:

Exclaves

Exclaves unlike enclaves they are part of a country that stand alone separated from the rest of its original country by another country.

Usually these territories are secluded from their main country and there is no much services that goes on in them and the fact that they are isolated from most hectic social activities they can be used for military services because they may not be of easy access or predictable places.

Enclaves are the opposite because a part of a country is surrounded by the territory of another country such that they may be dependent to the country that surround them.
