29/05/19

A bilateral exercise between the 6th Bersaglieri Regiment and the US Marines Corps soldiers stationed at the Naval Air Station of Sigonella was conducted in recent days at Lago Rubino, a training area a few kilometers from the city of Trapani.

The activity, developed over several days, gave way to the military infantry and American colleagues, to develop in synergy the planning and conduct of complex operational actions.

In particular, during the exercise the attack was simulated by the "coup de main" by a mixed platoon against a defense station.

The activity represented an opportunity to refine the interoperability and compatibility abilities of the international procedures, as well as a moment of comparison and growth on the technical characteristics of the vehicles and materials supplied to the two Armed Forces.

During the final day an activity was carried out with the use of the new Medium Armored Vehicle (VBM) "Freccia" included in the 6 ° bersaglieri regiment.
