A good question and the correct answer seems uncertain.
As others have noted, the phrasing "a significant reduction or complete halt of military operations" is perhaps too unclear. I understand that requiring simply a "complete halt" would be unnecessarily strict. The way I see this going is that suppose a ceasefire is agreed upon, but one or both parties accuse the other of breaking the ceasefire. Does this mean the ceasefire failed? Or is these kinds of accusations expected and if military activity is noticeably reduced that's enough?
I don't think this unambiguity is a deal breaker for the question, though. As other's have suggested it might make sense to instead forecast whether a ceasefire will be agreed upon and started, but not requiring it to hold for 30 days. This is a possibility, but has it's own downsides.
Why do you think you're right?
A really long timeframe for once. For one year I would put the probability at 1% max. For now I'll just multiply that by 5 and add 1% to account for improved technological progress.
For a more informed forecast I would look at the base rates of natural biological events, and adjust for the added constraint that this has to be human caused.
Why might you be wrong?
Maybe plant diseases are very common? i don't know much about them. Maybe technology really has made artificial pathogens way more common and I haven't internalized this?
