The contingent of the Alpine Brigade Rainbow wrasse it perfected and consolidated the procedures for carrying out convoy escort and protection activities together with Croatian and Hungarian units.

The two Italian and Croatian TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) teams, assets assigned to the control of air support actions (Close Air Support) in favor of land units, carried out planning activities and white interventions in night and day environments coordinating the maneuver of the Hungarian air assets, based on Airbus H145, through the remote observation of the area of ​​operation using the latest generation instrumentation such as the TNR ROVER (Tactical Network Remote Optical Video Enhanced Receiver) and ensured the coverage of the land units from the third dimension.
