In the Belluno area, on the mountainous complex of the Torri del Falzarego, the Falzarego 2014 mountaineering exercise took place over the last few days. Some 400 soldiers from the “Julia” and “Taurinense” alpine brigades, the Alpine Training Center and a representative of the MM with two NCOs of the brigade SAN MARCO (1 ° MRS D'aprile and 1 ° MRS Vacca) and two non-commissioned officers of COMSUBIN.

There were no missions of the Carabinieri and foreign representatives of allied countries and friends such as Lebanon, Spain, France and Slovenia.

Instead, representatives of Chile, Austria, Switzerland and Great Britain have only participated as observers in order to increase their international cooperation capacities, verifying the training procedures and their abilities to operate in perfect synergy in an environment difficult as that of the high mountain.

During the execution of the various tests our soldiers have tried their hand in activities aimed at ascertaining the preparation reached both in the technical mountaineering field and in the tactical / operational field, in complex operations such as the descent with the rope and the progression on the via ferrata.

During the event, technologically advanced materials and equipment were tested, essential for a modern and efficient army.
