The departure takes place at the end of an intense training cycle which saw the brigade engaged not only in the preparation phase of the largest Italian contingent currently engaged outside the borders of the mother country but also in the delicate task of transforming and testing the NEC force (Network Enabled Capability).
The great unit, led by its commander, Brigadier General Stefano Del Col, will take command of the western sector of the UN-UNIFIL mission, in the context of the operation called "LEONTE XVII".
The Pinerolo, reinforced by other assets from all over Italy, will take the name JTF-L (Joint Task Force - Lebanon) and will operate, "together" with the armed forces of other 8 nations: Slovenia, Brunei, Finland, Malaysia, South Korea , Ghana, Ireland, Tanzania, for the full implementation of the UN Security Council 1701 resolution.
