Since the end of the Second World War this has been the first time that the regimental flag has left the homeland and its return is a source of pride and emotion for the men and women who serve you in arms.
The soldiers of the 4 ° Genio have intensely worked to guarantee the security of the roads and military bases in Afghanistan and have supported the entire contingent in the theater of operations with their irreplaceable peculiarity.
The Regiment over the years has been repeatedly employed in many other operational theaters, such as Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Lebanon and now Afghanistan, in these demanding missions it has always operated at its maximum its exceptional potential, always achieving the same results.
However, the many international commitments have never interrupted the significant and silent contribution to the Sicily region and its inhabitants: in fact, the unit, through its precious environmental reclamation activities, road maintenance, blasting of explosive devices and demolition of illegal buildings has always collaborated with the civil authorities in the area.
