Georgia–Georgia National Guard Partnership

In 2010 the Georgia National Guard helped train over 2,000 Georgian soldiers, and the Republic of Georgia continues to serve as the largest non-NATO nation provider of troops to the International Security Assistance Force.

In 2012, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs hosted the 2012 NATO Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center's annual disaster response exercise, which included 38 countries and over 1,000 participants.
