Ambassador Degnan's Remarks to Media at Agile Spirit 2023 Air Jump

 

Question about the event

Ambassador Kelly Degnan:  We’re out here at Vaziani airstrip for Agile Spirit, the annual exercise hosted by Georgia, co-led by the United States with 21 countries participating and over 3000 military personnel.  Today we’re here for the paratroopers drop.  This is a great opportunity to exercise together, to build interoperability, transparency, and preparation so that when we do these exercises every year, we just get stronger and stronger in our military cooperation.  This is really exciting today to see 180 paratroopers from the United States, 173rd Airborne Unit here in Georgia as part of Agile Spirit, the annual exercise hosted by Georgia.  Georgian Defense Forces we thank you so much for this great support.  Madloba!
