Again, these were probably imported from Russian or Ukrainian factories and not locally produced.		* Between 1992 and 1995, variations of the Russian ''dubok'' (little oak) or VSR pattern camouflage were worn by Georgia.

	* Beginning around 2008, the standard camouflage uniform of the Georgian Armed Forces became a copy of the US Marine Corps temperate MARPAT digital design. For deployments to arid or desert environments, a copy of the desert MARPAT camouflage pattern was adopted. Neither pattern includes the EGA embedded into the design, and the color palettes are slightly different to those used by the US Marine Corps. By 2014, both variations of the pattern were all but depleted from supply stocks and are not scheduled to be replaced.		* Beginning around 2008, the standard camouflage uniform of the Georgian Armed Forces became a copy of the US Marine Corps temperate MARPAT digital design.

 In [[Abkhazia]], a region in the South Caucasus on the coast of the Black Sea, ethnic tensions between Abkhaz and Georgian populations resulted in a thirteen-month long War in Abkhazia, lasting from 14 August 1992 until 30 September, 1993 and pitting the fledgling Georgian Armed Forces against ethnic Abkhaz separatist forces supported by the Russian Armed Forces and militants from the northan Caucasus. When the conflict was over, [[Abkhazia]] was declared an independent republic (although not internationally recognized), and more than 250,000 ethnic Georgians found themselves displaced from Abkhazia. More than 10,000 Georgians and Abkhaz were killed in this conflict.
-Typical Soviet-designed camouflage patterns were employed until 1992, when variations unique to the region and the Georgian Armed Forces were introduced. Beginning in 2001, a variety of foreign-produced camouflage designs began to see short periods of service, including surplus uniforms from the USA, Germany and Turkey. Today the Georgian Armed Forces (საქართველოს შეიარაღებული ძალები, or ''Sak’art’velos Sheiaraghebuli Dzalebi'') employ Asian-made copies of contemporary US patterns such as MARPAT and Multicam.

−	Also known as the Tskhinvali Region, South Ossetia is a disputed region in the Republic of Georgia that declared its independence in 1990, calling itself the Republic of South Ossetia. Following shortly after the declaration of independence, the Georgian government attempted to regain control over the region by force, which led to the South Ossetia War (1991-92). Combat resumed in 2004, and again in 2008, which sparked the Russia-Georgian War and resulted in Ossetian and Russian forces gaining complete control of the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast. Only Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Nauru have recognized this independence. It is now considered a region of "frozen conflict," although a separate military force is maintained under the control of the Ossetian government. Georgia maintains that this region is under Russian occupation and still considers it a Georgian territory.
