The Group of Experts from the United States paid an official visit to Georgia on September 12. The goal of the visit is to launch the implementation of 6 point plan reached in the field of defence between Georgian and U.S. presidents.

Under the agreement, the U.S.-Georgia partnership moves to the next phase of defence collaboration. In the beginning, the U.S. experts will deliver assistance to the Georgian side in strengthening of air defence capabilities.

The visit in Georgia aims to provide a close study of air-defence capabilities on the ground and to analyze the existing environment while considering the potential threats.

After inspecting the situation on the ground, the U.S.experts will elaborate the Doctrine which will foster the further development and improvement of the Georgian air-defence potential.

“In September, another group of experts will arrive in Georgia to prepare the Georgian military engineers in combat engineering capabilities. Execution of the 6 point agreement will significantly contribute to the enhancement of security and stability in Georgia.

Strengthening of national security and defensive potential is envisaged by the Total Defence which is one of the components of  “3Ts” Concept of Ministry of Defence of Georgia”, - is said in the statement spread by the Ministry.
