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.

Geometry, colours and viewBox unaltered. 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.

- Historique notable
- The Western Command holds the half of the country whose problems are the sea and the Enguri: the Black Sea coast, with the ports that the Middle Corridor and Armenia's transit both depend on, and the boundary line with Abkhazia along the river, where Russia's 7th Military Base sits on the other side. Like its eastern counterpart it was created in the 2010s reform as an autonomous territorial command with its own staff and logistics. The 2008 war reached its area when Russian forces landed at Poti and destroyed the naval and coast-guard vessels there — the event that ended Georgia's navy as a service and put maritime security into the Coast Guard of the Border Police.
- Points forts
- The coast and the ports behind it, and terrain on the Enguri that has held a line since 1993.
- Limites
- A sea that Georgia has no navy on since 2008 and that Russia dominates, and a boundary line policed by other structures under a policy that forecloses the command's offensive use. No strength, holdings, positions or readiness are published.
