Armenia will take part as an observer in NATO’s multinational military exercise Agile Spirit 2025, which will be hosted by Georgia from July 25 to August 6, 2025. This marks the twelfth iteration of the exercise held in Georgia, aimed at strengthening interoperability, operational readiness, and joint capabilities among participating forces.
Agile Spirit 2025 will involve military personnel from Georgia, the United States, Türkiye, Germany, Italy, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Poland, with Japan joining Armenia in observer capacity.
The exercise will be conducted across various locations in Georgia — including Krtsanisi, the NATO-Georgia Joint Training and Evaluation Center (JTEC), Vaziani Combat Training Center and fire-range, Norio, Mukhrovani, and Senaki’s 2nd Infantry Brigade, as well as in Türkiye. It will feature a command post exercise, tactical convoy along the Senaki-Vaziani highway, live-fire drills, joint operations involving Special Operations Forces, and the validation of Georgia’s Combat Training Center.
Agile Spirit 2025 will kick off on July 21 with a joint airborne operation near Adana, Türkiye, where U.S. and Turkish paratroopers will conduct a combined parachute jump. Georgian armored vehicles and air assets will take part, alongside U.S. combat vehicles and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, as well as Türkiye’s Puma AS332 helicopter.
The West Command of the Georgian Defense Forces will co-lead the exercise with the U.S. Georgia Army National Guard.
