The army intervenes in Liguria with special means of genius

11/11/14

There are about 80 men and women in the army who have been at work in the province of Genoa since the early afternoon following a wave of bad weather that affected the Ligurian territory. We are intervening in the localities of Chiavari, Cogorno and Carasco with the special means of the genius, suitable for restoring the roads, with motor pumps, and field lighting towers.

The armed force has set up a ready-to-use device, continuously active in all regions.

The Italian army, increasingly characterized by the ability to "dual-use" intervention, or excellence both in the operational sphere but also in the interventions to support the population in the field of security and civil protection, has deployed highly specialized units such as the units of the genius.

These departments, thanks to the high level of preparation of their men and the technical and tactical means at their disposal, were able to carry out important and in some cases very complex operations, as recently happened already in Genoa, Parma, Alessandria and in the Grosseto.
