Much of Georgia’s state border is rugged and patrolling it requires specialist vehicles.
The northern border posts are often isolated by snow during winter and supplies are delivered by helicopter.
The Border Police agency consists of the Land Border Defense Department and the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard is responsible for the protection of the Black Sea coast line of Georgia and Georgia’s territorial waters. Fast patrol vessels and modern radar stations help to ensure the security of Georgia’s maritime territorial and economic zone.
In case of war, the Coast Guard undertakes the functions of a navy.
