Based on Georgia (GEO)’s interest in entering the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the GEO MOD is cooperating on several initiatives with its foreign partners via the Substantial NATO-Georgia Package (SNGP). One of the initiatives is the SNGP Military Police Initiative, which is aimed at the GEO Military Police (MP) joining the activity of the NATO Multinational Military Police Battalion (MNMPBAT).
For this reason and following the agreement of all parties involved, members of the NATO MNMPBAT conducted an initial readiness/capabilities evaluation of the GEO MP in Georgia’s Vaziani on 7-13 April 2019, to analyse the status of the GEO MP’s capabilities ahead of their inclusion into the NATO MNMPBAT.
Running parallel with the evaluation exercise, on 9-13 April 2019, delegations of the NATO MNMPBAT participating countries, led by MP Commanders/Directors Col Dadal (POL), Col Gottfried (CZE), Col Radoš (HRV) and Col Migát (SVK), held initial talks on the SNGP Military Police Initiative with officials of the GEO MOD, to be exact, GEO DCHOD Brig Gen Shalva Jabakhidze, Commander of the GEO MP Col Abesal Manjavidze, and representatives of the SNGP project.
Also introduced at the meeting was the GEO MP’s mission, structure and tasks, combined with live MP capability demonstrations. While the HRV delegation presented the NATO MNMPBAT’s structure and tasks, the SVK delegation elaborated on the basic legal documents concerning the NATO MNMPBAT.
The talks culminated on 12 April 2019, with representatives of the NATO MNMPBAT presenting an evaluation report on the GEO MP capabilities (based on the exercise) and with the GEO MP being offered partnership in the NATO MNMPBAT project, with the clear aim of further bolstering the cooperation between the NATO MNMPBAT and the GEO MP through joint intense training activities. These are set to culminate in the GEO MP’s fully fledged membership of the NATO MNMPBAT.
