Georgian Soldiers Fully Deploy from Iraq

December 2, 2008

On November 30, Georgian soldiers returned from Iraq to Tbilisi on U.S. Military aircraft.  This represents one of the last steps in the full redeployment of the Georgia first brigade that served as a member of the Coalition in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  The majority of the first brigade returned to Georgia during the recent conflict with Russia.  On board the aircraft, which will originate in Kuwait, will be personal belongings, medical supplies, and some communications equipment.
