Delivery of the sword to Viterbo

14/01/15

This morning in Viterbo, at the Army NCO School, the ceremony for the delivery of the "spadino" to the marshal students of the 17 "Coraggio" course was held, a traditional event of ethical and symbolic significance.

In the presence of the commander, division general Antonio Zambuco, the students of the "young course" have formally assumed the status of marshal pupil, aware of having undertaken a demanding course that will lead them to become marshals capable of exercising the function of platoon commanders of the Army operational forces.

In the same circumstance, the "Figures of Honor" were also conferred to the thirteen students marshals of the 16 ° Corso "Valore" who distinguished themselves for constant and high performance in their studies and for an exemplary disciplinary conduct, to which the commander addressed words of appreciation for the goal achieved.

The ceremony ended with the removal of the wards on mixed blocks of companies of the first and second year to symbolize the union between the "young" and "old" courses.
