As part of the NATO Partnership for Peace program, the Georgian ski resort of Gudauri is hosting a winter intermediate mountain course.

At the Sachkhere School of Mountain Training, under the guidance of Georgian instructors, Ukrainian, Polish, and Georgian military personnel are mastering the technique of moving on snow in mountainous terrain. Together with Georgian soldiers, the military of NATO member countries and partner countries passed the first stage of mountain training in Akhalkalaki, on Mount Abuli.

Recall that summer and winter mountain training courses with the participation of the NATO military by the Sachkhere school are held in Georgia on a regular basis.

The Russian Southern Military District (uniting the Southern and North-Caucasian Federal Districts) intends to hold over three thousand combat training events this year.

The exercises were planned to work out the issues of creating and using groups in operational directions.

The exercise took place near the Ukrainian border amid continuing tensions between Moscow and Kyiv.

Moreover, in November 2021, a three-day military exercise of the republic's law enforcement and security units took place in Chechnya. The head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov, ordered the placement of "sentinel points" around the perimeter of the training.

Intelligence exercises in North Ossetia, Karachay-Cherkessia and Rostov, were held against the background of information about the pulling of equipment to the border with Ukraine.

In October, it was reported that intelligence units of the Russian army were conducting exercises in self-proclaimed South Ossetia.

Earlier, on 10 December, more than 10 thousand servicemen were deployed at more than 30 training grounds in the South of Russia, which is about a third of the number of subdivisions of all formations and military units of the Southern Military District. For the first time, the exercises were being held at new training grounds in Ingushetia and the Volgograd region.

More than ten thousand military motorised rifle formations of the Southern Military District marched to the areas of combined arms training grounds.

Recently, the Algerian and Russian military practised their skills in fighting terrorists at the first joint exercises at a training ground in North Ossetia, the Southern Military District reported.
