Georgia's armed forces have achieved considerable progress lately which should be preserved and developed, a Pentagon delegation that held bilateral consultations in Batumi with Georgian colleagues said Wednesday.

The head of the American delegation, Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary James MacDougall, said bilateral cooperation was becoming deeper and that in the future the U.S. would render Georgia assistance in training and managing professional personnel.

Another defense official said the U.S. would help Georgia integrate into NATO and implement structural reforms to transform the Georgian Armed Forces' General Staff to the Joint Staff.
