A counter-terrorist assault operation, and a medical evacuation drill have been among missions involving the Georgian Defence Force troops alongside their allies in the ongoing 2020 edition of Noble Partner multinational manoeuvres outside Tbilisi.

The Ministry of Defence of Georgia on Monday shared details of some of the operations that featured ground troops, armoured vehicles and air assets in the exercise. One of these involved special operations forces from the GDF and their Polish counterparts in a counter-terrorist drill at the Vaziani Training Area.

In the simulated scenario, the troops used their vehicles - Georgian-produced armoured cars and American-made Oshkosh vehicles in Polish service - to assault a built-up complex following an assault by United States forces' Apache attack helicopters on the defences.
