                        A group of 12 coastguard officers from the Georgia Border Police headed to Greece to join NATO's Operation Sea Guardian.
This was reported by the RFE/RL's Echo of the Caucasus.
Georgia became the first country to receive this status without NATO membership.
Operation Sea Guardian has three maritime security tasks:
- Support maritime situational awareness;
 - Contribute to maritime security capacity building;
 - Support maritime counter-terrorism.
 
Upon arrival of the Georgian Coast Guard personnel in Greece, they will first conduct a preparatory exercise.
