Georgia will join NATO Response Force (NRF) in 2015, NATO’s Secretary General says.

At a monthly press conference, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that from next month the alliance will conduct a major exercise in Poland and the Baltics states. Rasmussen explained that its purpose is to make sure that the NRF, NATO’s rapid reaction force, is ready to defend any ally, deploy anywhere and deal with threats.

Secretary General remarked that Georgia has offered to join NRF in the future and the offer has now been accepted.

“I would therefore anticipate that Georgian troops would be made available for the force as of 2015,” he said. “This, again, would be a first: the first time Georgia has joined NATO’s rapid-reaction team.”

Also Ukraine and Finland have offered to join the exercise and have been accepted, DF informs.

“So they will train alongside us – and will then have met the requirements to deploy with next year’s NATO Response Force.”
