Editing Defence Forces of Georgia (section)

=== Reconstruction ===
Georgia immediately began a process of re-armament after the war. The conflict was immediately followed by a replenishment program of the gaps in the single GAF arms components with an additional massive re-equipment and modernization program. Two Georgian naval vessels sunk in [[Poti]] were raised and returned to service.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/gavinsblog/2909836113/sizes/m/in/set-72157607708120897/ |title=Tutte le dimensioni &#124;IMG_0721 &#124; Flickr – Condivisione di foto! |publisher=Flickr.com |access-date=2013-08-17}}</ref> The Georgian Navy's remaining operational units were merged into the Coast Guard, which received training in search and seizure tactics from the [[United States]]{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}. [[Ukraine]] supplied Georgia with 30 [[BTR-70]] armored personnel carriers, 2 [[Buk missile system|BUK]] SAM system batteries and 6 [[9K33 Osa|OSA]] mobile SAM systems{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}. [[Israel]] supplied Georgia with 13 [[Wolf Armoured Vehicle|Wolf APC]]'s and [[SPYDER|SPYDER-SR]] SAM systems and many types of firearms{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}. The U.S. supplied Georgia with many types of infantry equipment to Georgia such as infantry personal protection equipment, firearms, APC's and anti tank missiles. Georgia has also received [[Man-portable air-defense system|MANPADs]] and radars from [[France]]{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}. NATO militaries also often train with Georgian military and have annual military drills in Georgia. Georgia also rebuilt its damaged military bases and constructed more military barracks. By late 2010 the Georgian military had reached a strength greater than pre-war levels and, after completing the reforms, decisively reduced military spending. Beginning in 2010, Georgia started to produce its own line of APC's, IFV's, infantry personal protection equipment, small arms and mortars.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}
