Major Matthews said: “We are a logistic squadron by trade and this isn’t our day job, but it fits nicely into the ‘soldier first’ ethos that the army has embraced.

“To be able to integrate at a soldier level with so many other partner nations has been extremely beneficial.”

Georgian Defence Forces chief major general Matiashvili said: “The dynamics of this exercise strengthens our defence for the Black Sea catchment.

“I extend my gratitude to Nato and its partners for this important support to improve Georgia’s position in defence.”
