Saakashvili is quoted in an interview with AP as outlining a proposal to develop a corridor for the shipment of armaments across Georgia and Central Asia to Afghanistan.
The report says Georgia is offering its Black Sea ports to Western military supply ships, and its airports for refueling points for cargo planes.
The report quotes U.S. defense officials as saying the U.S. Defense Department is aware of Saakashvili's willingness, but has not significantly explored the proposal.
President Barack Obama's White House declined comment.
