U.S. Contracts Security Firm to Train Georgian Troops

The Guardian reported today that the Pentagon is contracting a team of retired U.S. military officers to equip and train the Georgia’s armed forces.

The employer of the group of U.S. military experts is a Washington security firm, Cubic, which has a three-year USD 15 million contract with the Pentagon to support all aspects of the Georgian Ministry of Defense.

The United States has already allocated USD 64 million in Georgia Train-and-Equip program , which was launched in 2002. Four battalions of the Georgian armed forces have already been equipped and trained within this program. The fifth battalion will launch training this month.

Georgia has already appealed to the United States during the visit of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to Georgia in December, to continue support of the Georgian armed forces.

Backed by five decades of experience, the Cubic Defense Applications (CDA) group provides a broad spectrum of world-class integrated systems, electronic products and high-caliber services supporting the training and operational readiness of U.S. armed forces and allied militaries.
