US Marines train the Republic Of Georgia's 23rd Light Infantry Battalion.

*Note* The USMC and the Republic of Georgia are forming a very tight partnership.  The President of Georgia has two of his countrymen at the Naval Academy to be trained and commissioned as Marine Officers for the Georgian nation.  The Republic of Georgia has determined that it needs a Marine Corps.  OUTSTANDING!
