The Italian contingent deployed in Lebanon has confirmed the standard of excellence during the operational readiness inspection that the United Nations organization imposes on all military forces of contributing nations, known as Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI).
This type of control, which is carried out at least once every 6 months by UNIFIL teams coordinated by the Administrative Administration Center (CAI), is used to verify the standards guaranteed by individual nations, their level of efficiency and, consequently, the operational capabilities of the troops deployed in the area of operations.
