Allied and partner nations from around the world gathered at Vaziani Training Area, Georgia, for the opening ceremony of Noble Partner.
Noble Partner is a cooperatively-led multinational training exercise in its sixth iteration between the Georgian Defense Forces (GDF) and U.S. Army Europe and Africa. The exercise is being conducted at the Vaziani and Camp Norio training areas in the country of Georgia from Aug. 29 to Sep. 9, 2022.
“We are glad that Georgia and its strategic partners are here to solidify relationships and partnerships though Noble Partner,” said Chief of Georgian Defense Forces Maj. Gen. Giorgi Matiashvili. “This exercise helps with stability in the Black Sea region and prepares us for potential conflict in the future. We look forward to the exchange of experience, techniques, methods and military technologies.”
Noble Partner promotes regional stability and security, while increasing readiness, strengthening partner capabilities, and fostering trust. This combined training opportunity greatly improves interoperability among participating allies and partners. It enhances U.S. forces and participating nations with the ability to respond more effectively to regional crises, deter potential adversaries, and meet national defense goals.
