Baghdad : The US forces have filled in for the Georgian forces who were withdrawn following hostilities in South Ossetia, in Diyala and Baghdad.
The US forces have filled in for some 2,000 Georgian forces who were working within the Multi-National Force (MNF), coalition spokesman Rear Admiral Patrick Driscoll told a news conference Sunday.
Driscoll commended the Georgian forces during their deployment since 2003, and noted that they were tasked with many duties in different parts of Iraq.
Driscoll, meanwhile, said the Iraqi forces were improving and were assuming more security responsibilities.
