Several elite units were created in 1992. Those included Omega and Alpha, as well as another undisclosed special unit of the State Security. They were formed under the supervision of Igor Giorgadze, who took orders directly from then-Chairman of the Parliament Eduard Shevardnadze. In contrast to their Soviet counterparts, the Georgian units were not specialized in counter-terrorism, instead deployed into conflict zones shortly after their establishment, to act as combat and vital intelligence assets for the military. They were also trained in assassination of HVTs, which caused great controversies in connection with some murder cases and attempted assassinations of the Georgian head of state, that remain unsolved to this date.[24][25] While Omega received training from Western instructors, the members of Alpha were trained and headed primarily by decorated Georgian veterans of the Soviet–Afghan War and former KGB officers, as well as Russian officers from Spetsnaz GRU, some of whom were recruited and initially part of Alpha, to participate in the 1990s conflicts on the Georgian side. Alpha had various military hardware at its disposal, including armored personnel carriers and artillery, but operated mostly covertly and was the only unit in the country that could equip all its operators and diversionary groups with state of the art Western and Soviet communication devices, which enabled them accurate execution of operations, and a constant line of communication with Tbilisi, which was otherwise a rarity to non-existent, in the mostly poorly organized and equipped Georgian forces.
