I really wonder why they are wearing MARPAT.Pictures of GSOF from joint SF exercise "Kobra 17" in Poland. The exercise culminated in a special operations manouver that was lead by a 12 man team of the Georgian SOF. Events like these aim to qualify and certify GSOF operators for NATO lead missions. GSOF is tasked by US SOCOM to train and assist conventional military forces of the Alliance for international missions and if required take the lead. Members of the Georgian SOF been training and qualifying the last two years with Poland's JW GROM and AGAT which are described by GSOF as great partners and friends.s
I really wonder why they are wearing MARPAT.
