They trained for war and being dominant on the battlefield.
However Sparta was very conservative about entering wars, preferring to negotiate solutions which were sustainable rather than imposing by conquest. They were encouraged in this approach by their problems of a restive serf population in their home territories, who provided a constant threat of uprising , with the absence of the army exposing them to revolution in their absence.
For this reason they took seven serfs for each soldier on campaign to reduce the risk at home - and these serfs provided support to the Spartan warriors as light infantry.
