Sometimes the sign of being a highly skilled force is never having to fight.
Like plumbers and electricians?
One does not get a reputation in the military just by being highly skilled.
Battle worthiness is earned - the hard way.

But then once they have fought the reputation is there. And really in the modern world of information you can get a lot of military reputation without fighting, what do you think bomb tests are for. And as others have pointed out, periodically the Vatican Guard does show some of their training to various TV crews for various reasons. There are many ways to show force, and if the force shown is sufficient potential enemies come up with other plans.
