 Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division will be working and training together with a Georgian Light Infantry Company at the Viziani training area. The exercise provides an opportunity for the U.S. military to continue its relationship with the Georgian Armed Forces as the sponsor of Georgia's participation in the NATO Response Force. Georgian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Vakhtang Kapenadze said the training scenarios will be very realistic. More or less, I think it's much fit as today's challenges and today's threats, not only for Georgia but also a round of region. For soldiers like Staff Sergeant Christopher Layen, this is a great opportunity to continue working together and strengthen part of the Georgians. To be able to get in there and actually train with them, I actually got to work with some of the Georgians when I was an instructor over at the Ranger School, so I know that for the most part they're pretty tactically sound, but it's going to be good for them and good for our young soldiers to see what it's like working with a foreign nation. That working together has been something that the U.S. and Georgian armies have done for years, but also will help to enhance the interoperability and readiness of the U.S. and Georgian N-R-F forces.
