a large chunk of the Pskov 76th VDV division along with some 700 vehicles were just ordered to the region to take part in the Kavkaz-2008 exercise.

At the same time the US has 1,000 soldiers just across the border in Georgia for a NATO led exercise.

Fun stuff.

those 1,000 US soldiers are facing a cross border Russian force of 40,000 men.
