10/07/14

The activity was aimed at maintaining training levels, in coordination with the reserve forestry staff.

In particular, thanks to the experience gained in foreign missions and the high "dual-use" connotation (ability to cooperate with the civil authorities in favor of citizenship and the operational one expressed in operational theaters), 35 bersaglieri were employed among officers, non-commissioned officers and volunteers; 6 tactical vehicles and fire-fighting equipment, with the aim of providing an intervention force in case of public calamities, such as fires that could spread in the area during the summer season.
