Army military schools at the end of the summer tactical campaign

09/07/15

The Logistics Base of Fago del Soldato, near Camigliatello Silano and the Caserma Cantore, near San Candido, for a month hosted the Army Military Schools engaged in the tactical campaign planned at the end of the school year.

An innovative project of joint activity that has seen the two teams of students and students train side by side, in the perspective of a constructive confrontation and an exchange of experiences aimed at further amalgamating the two realities of young people with the stars.

The first year students of the two military schools made excursions in the fabulous scenery of the Dolomites, shot with the small arms supplied to the Army, tackled climbing and abseiling activities. The valleys and wooded areas around Dobbiaco were perfect contexts for day and night patrols, helicopters on board helicopters, bivouacs and orienteering exercises.

The Sila, on the other hand, saw the second year students of the Military Schools compete in equally demanding and technically more complex activities that took into account the experience gained in the tactical campaign carried out last year. Combat training in urban centers, ballasted gears, fire drills with different small arms supplied to the armed force, Basic Life Support Defibrillation courses, theoretical and practical lessons of C-IED (Counter Improvised Explosives Devices). Finally, a three-day "team competition" during which the students, divided into patrols, met in a series of tests of endurance, skill and knowledge of techniques and practical skills.

The tactical campaign had its concluding moment with a final exercise in which the students, passing a continuous patrol activity articulated in fire activities, night bivouacs and helipads, reached the training objectives set for their path of military growth . The "Nunziatella" and "Teuliè" military schools are "elite high schools" in which the three-year courses of the Liceo Classico and the Liceo Scientifico are activated.
