THE MEDICAL SERVICE OF THE ITALIAN ARMy.l AFTER the capture of Rome in 1870 Italy became united and the Italian Army was reorganised. Though the north-east was comparatively easy of defence on account of its alpine character, the configuration of the country as a whole was not in favour of rapid concentrations, and the disproportionately great sea board of 2,800 kilometres increased the vulnerable points. A powerful navy was set to guard the coast, and a strong alpine corps, strong even on a peace footing, was provided to take charge of the mountain frontiers. The burden of conscription was made as light as possible, mobilisation being made regional; most of the army corps were disposed in the north, whilst the remainder were placed along Protected by copyright. the chief lines of communication. The resulting organisation is well devised, simple and vigorous, and yet not too costly. The country is divided into twelve districts for army corps, each including two divisions. Sardinia forms a special command, the 25th Division, being attached to the 9th Army Corps (Rome). The Army Corps are as follows: 1st Turin (Novare), 2nd Alexandria (Coni), 3rd Milan (Brexia), 4th Genoa (Placentia), 5th Verona (Padua), 6th Bologna (Ravenna), . 7th Ancona (Chieti), 8th Florence (Leghorn), 9th Rome (Perovia and 25th Division of Sardinia), 10th Naples (Salerno), 11th Bari (Catauzaro), 12th Palermo (Messina). Generals commanding Army Corps act territorially, having control of the troops and military establishments in their district.
