Rasmussen Confirms Georgia is Joining NATO Response Force in 2015

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, October 10, 2013Georgia, has offered to join the Response Force in the future, and been accepted. I would therefore anticipate that Georgian troops would be made available for the force as of 2015.

This, again, would be a first: the first time Georgia has joined NATO’s rapid-reaction team.
