Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan hold joint rescue exercises in Ankara

Hosted in Ankara, the DAK-23 drills saw forces of the National Guard of Georgia involved in the week-long tactical level exercise, with the performed simulations involving search and rescue efforts during an earthquake scenario.

The teams had to use rescue equipment to extract injured individuals from the rubble, evacuate them by land and air, and use rescue dogs.

The Ministry added the training would be hosted by Azerbaijan next year, followed by Georgia in the subsequent edition, as part of a rotational programme for the drills.
