De militaire opgeleide Georgische commando's van de V.S.

Maandag, 8 September, 2008

De militaire verstrekte gevechtstraining van de V.S. aan 80 Georgische speciale maanden van krachtencommando's slechts voorafgaand aan het leger van Georgië valt in Zuid-Ossetië in Augustus aan.

De revelatie, die op rekruteringsdocumenten en gesprekken met de militaire trainers van de V.S. wordt gebaseerd die door de Financial Times worden verkregen, kon brandstof aan beschuldigingen door Vladimir Putin toevoegen, Russische eerste minister, vorige maand dat de V.S. de oorlog in de Georgische enclave „hadden bewerkt“.

De opleiding werd verstrekt door de hogere militairen van de V.S. en twee militaire contractanten. Er is geen bewijsmateriaal dat de contractanten of het Pentagoon, die hen huurden, wisten dat de commando's zij opleidden worden gebruikt in de aanval op Zuid-Ossetië waarschijnlijk waren.

Een het legerwoordvoerder van de V.S. zei het doel van het programma de commando's voor plicht in Afghanistan als deel van de NAVO-Geleide Internationale Kracht van de Hulp van de Veiligheid op te leiden was. Het programma, echter, benadrukt de vaak onbedoelde gevolgen van de V.S. „trein en rust“ programma's in derde landen uit.

De contractanten - MPRI en Amerikaanse Systemen, allebei gebaseerd in Virginia - wierven een 15 mensenteam van vroegere speciale krachtenmilitairen aan om de Georgiërs bij de Vashlijvari speciale krachtenbasis op de rand van Tbilisi, een deel van een programma op te leiden dat door de de defensieafdeling van de V.S. in werking wordt gesteld.

MPRI werd gehuurd door het Pentagoon in 1995 om de Kroatische militairen voorafgaand aan hun invasie van het etnisch-Servische gebied op te leiden Krajina, dat tot de verplaatsing van 200.000 vluchtelingen leidde en één van de slechtste incidenten van het etnische reinigen in de Balkanoorlogen was. MPRI ontkent om het even welk wangedrag.

De opleiding van de V.S. van het Georgische leger is een groot ontvlammingspunt tussen Washington en Moskou. M. Putin zei op CNN op 29 Augustus: „Het is niet alleen dat de Amerikaanse partij niet de Georgische leiding van deze misdadige handeling [van het tussenbeide komen in Zuid-Ossetië] kon beperken. De Amerikaanse partij bewapende en leidde in feite het Georgische leger op.“

De eerste fase van de speciale krachten opleiding werd gehouden tussen Januari en April zei dit jaar, dat op „fundamentele speciale krachtenvaardigheden“ de nadruk legt een Amerikaanse werknemer van Systemen die telefonisch van het Fort Bragg wordt geïnterviewdw van het leger van de V.S.

De militaire ambtenaar van de V.S. vertrouwd met het programma zei het Pentagoon de militaire contracterende firma's inhuurde helpen zijn eigen trainers wegens een gebrek aan arbeidskrachten aanvullen.

De tweede 70 dagfase werd geplaatst om op 11 Augustus, een paar dagen te beginnen nadat de oorlog in Zuid-Ossetië uitbrak. De trainers kwamen op 3 Augustus, vier dagen vóór het conflict aan dat op 7 wordt geflakkerd Augustus. “They would have only seen the inside of a hotel room,” quipped one former contractor. Neither MPRI nor American Systems would speak at length to the FT about the programme.

American Systems di­rected questions to the US army’s Security Assistance Training Management Organisation (Satmo) at Fort Bragg, part of the US Army’s Special Warfare Center School. Satmo sends trainers, mainly special forces but also contractors, to countries such as Yemen, Colombia and the Philippines. Satmo trainers generally work with forces involved in counter-insurgencies, counter-terrorism or civil wars. A Satmo spokesman declined to comment.

One US military official familiar with the programme said it emerged from a Georgian offer to the US in December 2006 to send commandos to Afghanistan to work alongside American special operations forces.

According to this person, the US told Georgia that the offer should be made through Nato, which welcomed the offer but informed Georgia that its forces would need additional training to meet the military alliance’s standards.

While the programme is not classified, there is a lack of transparency surrounding it, though US military officials said the lack of publicity was not part of an effort to keep the programme secret. Other US military training programmes in Georgia have their own websites and photo galleries.

A US European Command spokesman confirmed the existence of the programme only after reviewing an e-mail sent by MPRI recruiters that was obtained by the FT. According to the e-mail, which did not mention Nato operations, former US special operations forces would receive $2,000 ($1,150, €1,400) a week plus costs as trainers. “We can confirm the pro­gramme exists, but due to its nature and training ob­jectives we do not discuss specifics to ensure the integrity of the programme and force protection of the trainers and participants,” he said.

James Appathurai, Nato’s spokesman in Brussels, said: “Georgia has made an offer to provide forces to Isaf in the last two years. But until now these Georgian forces have not joined the Isaf mission.” An official at a senior Nato member state said it was understood that the forces had been trained by the US, but that the forces had not passed a certification process under which all potential members of the Isaf mission are vetted.

Conflict in the Caucasus

The conflict between Russia and Georgia began on the night of August 7, when Georgian forces, including commando units, tanks and artillery, assaulted the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali.

Russia says that at least 133 civilians died in the attack, as well as 59 of its own peacekeepers, according to figures released this week.

In response Russia launched a mass invasion and aerial bombardment of Georgia, in which 215 Georgians have died, including 146 soldiers and 69 civilians.
