A convoy of military vehicles traveled through Georgia’s Guria region headed to Vaziani military base, south east of Tbilisi to participate in Georgian Armed Forces and US Army Europe cooperatively-led exercises known as Noble Partner 2018.
This is the forth time that Georgia has held this type of military exercise.
Around 1300 Georgian and 1000 US service members will participate in the event as well as 500 military specialists from other countries, including Ukraine, France, Turkey and Armenia. The exercises will continue until August 15th.
Georgia has U.S. backing for its bid to join the Western NATO alliance. But the move is firmly opposed by Russia, which fought a five-day war with Georgia in 2008 and supports separatist authorities in two Georgian breakaway regions: Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
