US has 1,000 troops in Georgia plus advisors for Operation Immediate Response 2008 despite the war.

The United States European Command just finished (last Thursday) Operation Immediate Response 2008, a training exercise in Georgia. These troops are in addition to the 127 military trainers that are in country more or less permanently working with the Georgian military.

In addition to the trainers, 1,000 soldiers from the Vicenza, Italy-based Southern European Task Force (Airborne) and the Kaiserslautern-based 21st Theater Sustainment Command, along with Marine reservists with the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines out of Ohio, and the state of Georgia’s Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 121st Infantry recently participated in “Immediate Response 2008.”

That exercise, which had the U.S. troops operating from Vaziani, concluded on Thursday. That base, near the capital of Tbilisi, was bombed by Russian aircraft over the weekend, Georgian officials said.

  5. Hello. I skimmed across your page by an accident and was glad that I took a second to look. My mother and I have recently started a huge lot of internet research regarding apartments in Italy and where to go and other stuff. By the way, thanks for the expertise – glad I searched it by accident and will remember. With research I started putting together information about Italian apartments for my blog.
