For some days now the staff of the 5th regiment Alpini he is training for helicopter transport at the "Sabelli" military airport of Bolzano, home of the 4th "Altair" Army Aviation regiment, in a joint activity with the Army Aviation crews.

Training activities of this type are re-proposed annually, to ensure the full operational capability of the military, and to contribute to an ever-increasing interoperability between the various departments of the Italian Army: it is in this context that alpine and helicopter pilots train together.

Learning better the procedures of the helicopter transport - and therefore being able to make the best use of the third dimension - allows to significantly reduce the timing of intervention in any circumstance, both in the scenario of an operation abroad and in the national territory in response to disasters natural, as happened in January 2017, following the exceptional snowfall that hit central Italy already battered by the earthquake.
