The Abkhazian Armed Forces (Abkhaz: Абџьарирқәу Амҷқәа Аԥсны; Russian: Вооружённые силы Абхазии) are the military forces of Abkhazia.[notes 1] The forces were officially created on 12 October 1992, after the outbreak of the 1992–1993 war with Georgia.[2] The basis of the armed forces was formed by the ethnic Abkhaz National Guard. The Abkhaz military is primarily a ground force but includes small sea and air units. According to the authorities of the Republic of Abkhazia, the Abkhazian Land Forces are organised along the Swiss model – in time of peace they have personnel of 3,000 to 5,000 and in case of war further 40–50,000[3] reservists are called out. Georgia regards the Abkhaz armed forces as "unlawful military formations" and accuses Russia of supplying and training the Abkhaz troops.
