Media day organized the 7 December from the general of corps Giuseppenicola Tota, commander of the COMFOTER to illustrate the exercise just ended 2018 Atlas which saw 1589 engaged Army men and women with the use of 665 means.
The exercise, which took place in several Italian locations, is the first of its kind, as General Tota pointed out. For the first time all the commands of the Land Forces were "connected in a data transmission link, with command and control capability."All COMFOTER dependent commands participated: the Counter Air Artillery Command, the Artillery Command, the Engineers Command, the Transmissions Command, the Tactical Intelligence Brigade Command and the Logistics Support Command.
Numerous training objectives and primates achieved by exercise. Manage complex activities optimizing resources (space, time and materials and the exchange of information) Use the existing technological capabilities in the Armed Force supplied to support commands, in order to identify critical issues and related corrective measures. Water in competition with the Arma Base Implement the logistic tactical roadway with road works and realization of a helicopters landing area to manage a railway yard to support the logistic operations in operations and finally to train the health departments in the deployment of a hospital from field and medical evacuation with helicopter use.
For the first time, the command department, based at Palazzo Carli in Verona, has been deployed in the sub-sector, with worldwide connections to exchange data and information in real time, thanks to the use of the Bolzano transmission command.
A field hospital was built in 18 hours and already from the first 5 was operational for any need, from radiological investigations to surgical interventions. Synergy with the Civil Protection is fundamental.
A road on the Po was made in 9 minutes, using modules, on which heavy vehicles were passed and the same modules could be used to transport material from one bank to another.
For the first time, a cybernetic attack was simulated in which the three territorial transmission regiments were based, with offices in Padua, Rome and Palermo, which were activated to respond to an attack on the three nodal centers. The military of the genius intervened in response, to check and reclaim from any bombs and traps, and then restore the radio links with the Transmitters.
In a fantasy scenario, a terrorist attack on water resources with hostage taking was simulated. Exercise to test the operation of the commands.
The defense against drones was another record, where the anti-aircraft artillery was identified as a force to counter such attacks.
Full satisfaction of General Tota on the results of the exercise.
