Provenance de l’identité
Service ensign: Main military flag of the Georgian Defence Forces — carried by Georgian Defence Forces, not issued to this record. The main military flag of the Georgian armed forces — the five-cross field with the national arms at the centre, adopted 2007. CLEARED WITH A CAVEAT in the earlier manifest and not fetched; now fetched and shipped, and the caveat is kept rather than dropped: the force was renamed from Armed Forces to Defence Forces in 2018 and no source located in this pass establishes whether the flag was restyled with it. The label therefore names the flag rather than asserting a date, and the record's own text carries the institutional history.

Inherited by the two territorial commands, the aviation and air-defence command, the special operations forces and the National Guard; the Border Police is a separate root under the Interior Ministry and correctly inherits nothing.

En bref
Le commandement qui réunit ce qui reste de la puissance aérienne géorgienne — des hélicoptères, une poignée de cellules de Su-25 issues de la chaîne de production de Tbilissi, et la défense sol-air achetée à la France et à Israël après 2008 — rétabli comme commandement distinct en 2016 après que l’armée de l’air eut été intégrée à la force terrestre.

- Historique notable
- Georgia's air force flew Su-25s built at its own Tbilisi plant in the 2008 war and lost the argument afterwards: the service was merged into the land force in 2010 and re-established as a separate aviation and air-defence command only in 2016. Its fixed-wing element is small and ageing; its helicopters are the useful part; and its air defence was rebuilt after 2008 with French radars and Israeli and French missile systems, on the reasoning that a country whose airspace Russia entered at will could at least make the entry costly. The command's stated role is aviation support to the Defence Forces' formations and protection of the country's airspace, and this record states no more than that.
- Points forts
- A layered air-defence purchase from Western suppliers, and a helicopter force suited to the mountains.
- Limites
- No credible manned air combat capability, and an air-defence architecture that could not prevent what it was bought to answer. No numbers, sites, coverage or readiness are published.
