It is in a manuscript and does not appear in any published work. The passage is written separately from any of Vegetius' books. I assume that either the writer found it in another source and thought that it would be a useful addition to Vegetius' advice on training or he made it up himself from snippets found in his wider reading. Vegetius does mention the felling of trees as part of a soldier's training but only in passing.

Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
