A glorious story. A fundamental present for the security of Italy. An even more important future in a world whose risks increasingly need "specializations".
This is the message that Minister Pinotti left in the honor roll of the “Teseo Tesei” divers and raiders group. The Comsubin, which today saw the entry of ten other "green berets" into the raiding family.
This morning in fact - in the presence of the Dicastery's proprietor - the ceremony for granting the patents was held to the students of the 67 ° ordinary course for raiders. The Chief of Defense Staff, General Claudio Graziano, and the Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral Valter Girardelli also attended the ceremony.
In his speech, the minister highlighted the excellence of Comsubin, diving departments trained with state-of-the-art equipment to operate at great depths. They are excellences whose professionalism and high-tech equipment are available to the security of the country and citizens. In his speech, the minister recalled, as an example, the hyperbaric chamber "used by the ASL and therefore by the citizens who need it" is a good example - said Pinotti - of how "you are open and available".
“By following the projects you illustrated to me today we could make it even more unique” added the minister who visited the Comsubin headquarters before the handover ceremony. The delivery of the patents represented one of the highlights in the life of the raiders. After eleven very demanding months spent in all scenarios involving special forces operators, only 10 soldiers have achieved the green beret, thus entering the ranks of the Incursion Operational Group (GOI) which constitutes the only unit of Special Forces of the Navy heir to the men of the Navy Assault Vehicles.
