In particular, the activity carried out concerned the embarkation and disembarkation of military vehicles on Capri vessels, coastal transport motorcycles, of the Gorgona class, verifying the procedures for their loading and for the supply of materials and simulating a logistic support intervention as part of a humanitarian relief scenario.
The departments that participated in the exercise come from the 8 ° "Casilina" Transport Regiment of Rome and from the Logistic Commands north and south of Padua and Naples respectively. This also made it possible to verify the procedures within the planning process thanks to the involvement of the various functional branches of the logistics area controls.
