FOREWORD

Order of Battle intelligence consists of carefully sifted and evalu- ated information received from a great variety of sources on the organization, strength, and disposition of enemy forces. This information, if complete and accurate, not only facilitates the planning of military operations but enables in the field to judge the enemy's local capabilities and to make their decisions accordingly. The purpose of this text is to furnish intelligence officers with a detailed picture of the basic composition and disposition of the . The first part, comprising sections I to IV, is for general orientation on the structure of the Army and its high command, the types of units and their organization, and the other Italian militarized and auxiliary formations. The second part, consisting of sections V to VII, is the Order of Battle proper, giving specific data on the names, numbers, composition, location, and commanders of all identified units of the Italian Army. This latter type of information is of course constantly changing, and it is therefore intended to issue sectional or complete revisions of the book at suitable intervals. More details on the basic organization of units, means of identi- fication, symbols, and abbreviations will be found in the forth- coming Technical Manual on the and the MIS Special Series publication. on Italian military abbreviations, signs, and symbols. All intelligence personnel concerned with the Italian Army should become thoroughly familiar with the contents and arrange- ment of this book so that they can perform their duties more intlligently and can use the great mass of factual data given here as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Section I. ITALIAN HIGH COMMAND

1. Introduction. Within certain limitations due to differences in political organi- zation of the two countries, the Italian military system is very similar to the German.' It is obvious that the interrelation of the Armed Forces of the has been in effect for some time, at least sufficiently to have permitted the modeling of various principles of organization of the one upon those of the other. The Armed Forces (Forze Armate) of the Italian state are re- garded as a single service and comprise the following branches: the Royal Army (Regio Esercito), the Royal Navy (Regia Ma- rina), the Royal Air Force (), the Royal Customs Guards (Regia ), and the Fascist Militia (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale-MVSN) or (Camicie Nere-CCNN). 2. Supreme Command of the Armed Forces. The King is the Supreme of all armed forces (Comandante Supremo delle Forze Armate dello Stato). In time of peace he delegates his powers to the Ministers of War, Navy, and Air; in time of war a Supreme Commander is appointed by .Royal Decree with the approval of the Council of Ministers. Hitherto MUSSOLINI, as Head of the State and Minister of War, Navy, and Air, could determine the selection of the Supreme Commander and exercise direct control over the Armed Forces both in peace and in war. In addition MUSSOLINI was Chairman of the Supreme Commission of Defense (Commissione Suprema di Difesa), an inter-ministerial and Armed Forces council re- sponsible for the coor ti n of all olicies and practices of total ~ 11 :: Bw~~Xt ~t: 4 $g ,.aITALIANO DfaB.. ,' jE ARMY war. Its membership comprises the highest officials of the State and the ranking members of the Armed Forces. The Supreme Commander appointed bears the title of Chief of the Supreme Geeral Staff (Capo di Stato Maggiore Generale) and is selected fr the rankliig' of116 of any branch of the Armed Forces. Theoretically, he was the teclmical adviser of MUSSOLINI in all matters concerning the coordination of de- fense and the conduct of land,' sea, and air operations. In the exercise of his functions he works in conjunction with the Chiefs of Staff of the Army, Navy, and Air Forces. To facilitate this coordination, le has his own staff (Sttto Maggiore Generale), which functions as liaison between himself and the various services through the respective ministries and general staffs. 3. Army High Command. The Commander in Chief of the Army is the Chief of the Army General Staff. Selected from the general officers of the Army, he is appointed by Royal Decree on approval of the Council of Ministers. lie serves under the Chief of the Supreme General Staff and functions as teclmical adviser to the Minister of War in, time of peace. In time of war he exercises his appointed functions at the headquarters of the armies in the field,. He communicates directly with army and field commanders, com- manders of corps areas, and inspectors of the various arms and services. He is assisted by the Deputy Chief of Staff (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore). The Army General Staff consists of three sections, each ad- ministered by an Assistant Chief of Staff appointed by Royal Decree: (1) Operations (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore per le Operazioni), which supervises territorial and colonial operations, training, recorls, and intelligence; (2) Administration (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore Intendente), which supervises organization, mobilization, transportation, and services; and (3) Territorial Defense (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore per la Difesa Territoriale), which is responsible for all defense, including coast defense as far

Officers of the General Staff are rarely posted to this section, which normally consists of specialists in the various branches within whose jurisdiction defensive measures fall. Each branch of the Alm3d Forces has its own General Staff. The Army General Staff (Stato Maggiore deli' Esercito) is com- posed of the General Staff Corps (Corpo di Stato Maggiore) and the General Staff Service (Servizio di Stato Maggiore). The head of the General Staff Corps is the Chief of the Army General Staff. After a three-year course at the Staff College and upon recommendation of a board from the General Staff Corps, officers selected for the Army General Staff are reassigned for one year to the headquarters of a line unit. On successful completion of this assignment, they are posted to the General Staff Service and serve as heads of the various staff departments of a unit headquarters, assisted by attached and complementary officers who may be temporarily employed. On promotion, an must serve with a unit of his own arm for two years, after which he is again as- signed to the General Staff Service. On promotion to a' ran equivalent to that of , and subject to having fulfilled his duties satisfactorily, an officer is transferred to the General Staff Corps. There, are normally 48 and 178 Lieutenant Colonels in the Corps, while the number of officers in the Service is unlimited. All chiefs of staffs in higher forma- tions are members of the General Staff Corps. Since these officers remain in close collaboration with the parent body, the Chief of the Army General Staff (and through him the Chief of the Supreme General Staff) is kept in very close touch with the daily conduct of the war. 4. Rear Echelon. The functions of a rear echelon in time of peace and war are executed by the Central Administration of the Army, directed by the Under Secretary of State for War. The following sections are comprised in this office:

The general supervision of administration, training, organiza- tion, armament, and equipment affecting the various arms and services pertains to the appropriate inspectorate. Inspectors correspond in general to the former American chiefs of arms and services. There are Inspectorates of Artillery, Infantry, Engi- neers, Motorization, Animal and Veterinary Services, Commissary Services, Alpine Troops, and Cavalry (Celere) Troops. These Inspectorates are consulting offices for the Under Secretary of War and the Chief of the Army Staff.

Section II. BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY 5. Introduction. For practical reasons-in order to facilitate mobilization, pre- pare the nation for total war, and especially to free field unit commanders from territorial and administrative responsibilities- the Italian Army is divided into Field Units (unii& di campagna) and Territorial Units (enti territoriali). The Field Army is under the direct control of. the Chief of the Army Staff and his staff at field headquarters, who devote them-selves primarily to military operations. All other matters are entrusted to the Under Secre- tary of War (usually a high ranking army officer) and the Assistant Chief of Staff for Territorial Defense. A permanent hom.e struc- ture is set up in peace time and carries over, with accelerated and more extensive functions, in time of war. 6. Regional Organization. Army Commands are represented in peace time by the Army Generals designated to co mand armies in time of war (Generali designati d'Armata). These commanders are responsible under the Minister of War and the Chief. of the Arm.y Staff for all military administration and preparations for war in the areas allotted to them. In time of war, they may be given effective command of an army. The rank of Army General Designate continues to exist in tim e of war.

Army Corps Areas were responsible in peace tim.-e for all troops, services, headquarters and other military establishments within. the Corps Area. The headquarters of the Corps were stationed within definite areas which were also designated Territorial De- fense Commands (Gomando di DiJesa Territoriale). There were 1.6 of theimi at the outbreak of war, as-follows:

6. . N, 1::; i '&ACTOF THE ITALIAN' ARMY 7

I Torino IX II Alessandria X Napoli' III Milano XI IV Boizano XII V XIII VI XIV VII Firenze XV Genova

VIII Roma . XVI (unknown)

They are numbered concurrently with the Corps whose head- quarters and components they contained in peace time. There were in addition corps headquarters for four independent corps- Armored at Mantova, Alpine at , Cavalry (Celere) at Padova, and Semi-Motorized at -which were in effect staffs to control the training and organization of the specialized units. They did not have a corresponding Territorial Defense Command. Since the Commander of the Corps Area would on mobilization depart with his corps to join the Field Army, his main concern was the training and equipment of the corps in preparation for war. All administrative matters were assigned to a deputy, nor- n~ally a Reserve Officer unsuited for active field service but quali- fied by seniority and experience for the post. Each Territorial Defense Command thus became responsible in time of. war for the continued provision of trained manpower and administrative services for the corps which had originally come from that. area and for those subsequently organized in it. In 'addition, due to the particularly exposed situation of the Italian peninsula, each was made responsible for local antiaircraft, coastal, antigas, rail- road, and other defenses. These Corps Areas were originally divided into varying numbers of Military Zones, of which there were twenty-eight in all, corresponding to the number of divi- sions of the conscript army. These were in turn subdivided into Military Districts (Distretti .Zlfilitari).

, t 1 j ORDER OF BATTLE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY

Italy was divided into 106 Military Districts, plus one at , four in , six in Italian East , and detached sections at Leghorn, Zara, and. . Each district was organized into the following sections: a. Headquarters; handling administration of troops and reserves within the district; serving as mobilization center and garrison headquarters in time of war b. Recruiting section c.

Training begins at an early age and carries through most of the Italian's life. Training in youth organizations is under the control of the Gioventui Italiana del Littorio (GIL) and is divided into the following subdivisions:.

Figli -della Lupa from birth to 8 years of age Balilla from 8 to 14 years of age Avanguardisti from 14 to 16 years of age ' Giovani Fascisti from 16 to 18 years of age Premilitari from 18 to 21 years of age

The Balilla and the Avanguardisti are given the first rudiments of military instruction and are organized on the basis of the ancient Roman legionary system.' Compulsory military training begins at the age of 18, when youths are subjected to intensive preparatory courses and exercises for their future conscript service. During this period, youths are selected for eventual enrollment in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the various specialist and NCO schools. Instruction is carried out under the direction of the GIL and is imparted during specified periods by officers of the .'Fascist Militia, Reserve Officers, and NCOs. Actual control of youths for military purposes begins at the age of Ii when a Libretto personale is issued, in which is kept an 'exact record of the individual's physical, political, and military thistory. At, the age of 18 his name is posted on a draft list (lista di leva) and he is assigned for prem.ilitary training to a unit of the GIL. At the age of 21 he is examined by a draft board (consiglio di leva) and placed in an appropriate category, depend-

Except in particular cases, the normal period of service in peace time was for 18 months, from April of the year following that in which the twentieth birthday fell to October of the next year. Postmilitary training was compulsory until the age of 32 and reserves were periodically recalled to the colors for refresher courses, particularly in the cases of specialists and NCOs. At present, nearly all able-bodied men between the ages of 20 and 30 are serving in the Armed Forces, with prerilitary and post- under direct control of the Armed Forces on. a, war basis within the organizations for territorial defense. Noncommissioned officers of the rank of sergeant and above (so vfticiali) are volunteer long-service professional soldiers. Junior NCOs (graduati di truppa) are promoted from among the conscripts and perform the last part of their service as , with special provisions for more rapid advancement of those who have profited exceptionally from premilitary training. There are two principal categories of officers: a. Regular Officers (Uf iciali in Servizio Permanente Iffettiio): drawn from the Military Academies at and Modena, with additional training at service schools. Additional officers are drawn from among Reserve Officers and exceptionally qualified senior NCOs. b. Reserve Officers (Liciali di Corplerento): Youths who attain a certain standard of education are compelled by law to carry out their conscript service as Reserve Officers. They form the main source for junior officers on mobilization. After seven months of intensive instruction at special service schools, the. re- mainder of their conscript service is performed with units of the line. PReserve' Officers are subject to a certain amount of .com- pulsory. training in the field and are nsed as instructors in pre- military and postmilitary training.

8. Replacement Training System. The organization in the Italian Army for the production of new units and for the supply of replacements is very similar to the German. Ersatz system. Every unit of the Field Army is rein- forced as necessary from the depot of the unit in . The rate of forming reserve, units depends on circumstances and is fairly elastic. Normally, the unit of first line reserves is one degree smaller than the field unit which it serves; each infantry or artillery usually has a reserve . When a division is engaged in active operations, the process is speeded up and second line formations equal to the field units are formed. In such cases, the second line units are temporarily termed "bis" (duplicate) units and may bear the same number as the first-line unit. Certain types of units-, motorized infantry and artillery, and tank units-continuously form reserve formations, limited only by the need for special training and the ability to equip them. The numbering of replacement units or new formations does not follow a rigid scheme. Normally, reserve units take numbers in the series already existing for their type of unit within the larger formation to which they are attached. For instance, an infantry replacement company might be numbered 13, when there are already 12 first line companies in the regiment. In addition, it might be attached to a battalion of the normal regiment and thus be called the 13th Company, 4th Battalion of the parent regiment. When four companies have been formed (13, 14, 15, 16), they may become a reserve (complemento) battalion of the regiment and take on the number of the regiment, while the companies them- selves may be renumbered 1, 2, 3, 4. Thus, the 13th Co., 4th Bn, 27th Regt, may become as a reserve unit the 1st Co, 27th Bn, serving the 27th Regt. Confusion may easily arise in the case where the renumbered company does not associate itself with the reserve battalion, but directly with the parent formation: the 3d Co, 27th Regt may be either a regular component of the 1st

(,\ \ it ,1 I 12. >1 'qDE. ,OF. BATTLE THrE ITALIAN ARMY

Bn in the field or the reserve unit in the 27th Bn at the training depot. ,In addition, other reserve battalions attached to the same division may carry the divisional number. The composition of reserve battalions often varies from the normal organization. Thus the 27th Bn may include rifle, MG, and antitank companies, since it may be serving as. a reserve unit for the various. types of units in. the regiment. These reserve units are intended as depots for personnel rather than for weapons and have only a skeleton armament. It would therefore be exceptional to find them in an operational role. However, it may be assumed that reserve units which have been renum- bered and formed into independent units, or which are being grouped with other units to form a new division, will be fully equipped with weapons. With minor variations, the same system of replacement units applies to all combat units of corps and armies as well as to divisions. Although usually adhered to, it is not rigidly followed under exceptional circumstances. If a division in the field engaged in combat has absorbed all replacement personnel from its own depot, replacements will be sent from depots of other units. It may likewise absorb independent and fully formed new units. This leads to confusing identifications in the field through the personnel of these units continuing to wear the (mostrine) of their parent formations. Particular situations obtained in Russia and during the African campaigns. In Russia the German system of march battalions was adopted with certain modifications. A unit of infantry replacements bore the number of the regiment to which it was going and, when sufficiently large in numbers, it was organized into a march regiment, bearing the number of the division. Thus, the 3d Reggimento di marcia, including the 37th Battaglione di marcia, served as a replacement unit for the 37th and 38th In- fantry Regiments of the 3d RAVENNA Division. In the same way, the Alpine Divisions were served by march regiments

~rl1,,aI ~ ,, 1 BASIC ST TA 7-13 numbered 102, 103, 104, corresponding to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Alpine Divisions, wit Ai a s numbered the same as the particular rep!ents they were feeding. In the case of Bersaglieri regiments, the principle of numeration is not clear. The only replacement unit identified was the 120th Reggimento Bersaglieri di -marcia, with three, march battalions, and was presumably destined to reinforce the 3d and 6th Bersaglieri Regiments of the 3d Cavalry Division. In Africa, due to the pressure of the situation, complete units were sent over which were either incorporated in their entirety into already existing regiments or were split up by companies among several existfing battalions. In general, the regular system of numbering was fol- lowed, but there were several cases in which the march bat- talions had no number.. It should be kept in mind that march battalions do not necessarily feed the regiment at whose depot they were formed and whose number they bear. In general, it may be said that reinforcements of other arms are also called reggimento di marcia, that they have numbers from 100 upwards, and that rarely can a connection be observed be- tween the number of such a unit and the field unit for which it may be destined, although the march unit may bear the number of the unit at whose depot it was formed. There was one case of a Divisione di marcia, the 8th, consisting of personnel of all arms going as replacements to the in Russia. Section III. ORGANIZATION OF UNITS

9. Introduction Organization of units in the Italian Army is renarkably fluid and elastic. Tables of Organization are rarely followed in prac- tice and are often frankly abandoned in favor of substitute formations loosely called raggruppamenti, a term applied to collections of homogeneous units as well as to combat teams or task forces of a more self-contained nature with components of the various arms and services.

10. Numbering of Units. All Italian divisions except coastal divisions bear both a name and a number, either of which may be used alone in referring to that unit. 'Infantry divisions of all types are numbered in a continuous series, from 1 to 65, excluding 8, 34, 35, 39, 40, 43, 45, and 46; 101 to 105; and 151 to 159. The SPEZIA Air-Borne Division was numbered 80 and the parachute divisions, 184 and 185. Numbers 131 througb 134 were allotted to armored divisions, while 136 was also originally intended to be armored. Cavalry divisions were numbered 1, 2, and 3; Alpine divisions 1 through 6; and coastal divisions in the 200 'series through 226. When no calls are being made for replacements on a division depot and trained infantry and artillery personnel have been formed into second-line regiments, a new division may be formed. The two infantry regiments assume the name and numbers of the regiments of one of the disbanded World War brigades. The artillery regiment is allotted a new number in the regular series and this number is taken for the whole division. In this way, reserves at the depots of the 43d and 44th Infantry Regiments were expanded into two regiments (the 121st and 122d) and formed the MACERATA ; At the same time 'the reserves at 14 .

.3y + ORGAN[ZATION 0 W"_

the 36th Artillery Regiment depot were formed into the 153d Artillery Regiment. The combination of the new units with appropriate divisional troops became the new 153d MACERATA Division. a. .Infantry regiments, with the exception of Alpini and terri- torial defense units, are numbered in one continuous series up to 94, after which the numbering becomes erratic. They are arranged in pairs in divisions: the 1st and 2d RE Regiments are in the 13th RE Division. However, many infantry regiments and all cavalry regiments have names different, from that of the division. There are 66 regiments with numbers between 100 and 383, of which 12 are the extra regiments of triangular divisions. Such extra regiments are in the 300 series; they have a number whose last two digits are the same as one of the original divisional regiments. For example, the 29th PIEMONTE Division has the 3d, 4th and 303d Infantry Regiments. Five nondivisional regiments have been identified: the 100th, 101st, 102d, 202d, and 265th. Within the regiments, battalions are numbered from 1 to 3 and companies from 1 to 12 consecutively. Complement or reserve battalions 'bear the same number as the regiment which they supply. The three Sardinian Grenadier Regiments (GRANATIERI DI SARDEGNA) are numbered from 1 to 3. The two Savoyan Grenadier Regiments (GRANATIERI DI SAVOIA), destroyed in Italian , were numbered 10 and 11. b. Aipini'regiments, although numbered in sequence from 1 to 11, are not grouped in sequence when forming part of a division. There is no 10th Regiment, this number being reserved for an association of former Alpini officers and men. Alpini battalions have names but no numbers. The complement or reserve bat- talions of the regiments have names which usually start with the prefix VAL or MONTE. Alpini companies are numbered con- secutively in one series throughout the ten regiments. Those in normal battalions are numbered up to 79; in MONTE battalions

y j S A T' OF THE ITALIAN ARMY

f 86 and 200; in VAL battalions from 200 upwards. They are frequently, but not invariably, numbered in sequence within a battalion. For example, the IVREA Alpine Battalion has companies 38, 39, and 40; the has 250, 251, and 252; but INTRA has 7, 24, and 27, while has 112, 134, and 135. c. Bersaglieri are normally picked troops of high quality. There were originally twleve infantry regiments, numbered from 1 to 12, and an regiment, the 18th. Two regiments, the 30th and the 120th, were actually replacement units. Battalions have distinctive numbers, which bear no relation to the regiment to, which they belong, but companies are numbered consecutively throughout the regiment. d. Artillery regiments usually bear the same number as the formation to which they were originally allotted, but there are many exceptions. The original five army artillery regiments, numbered from 1 to 5, were not assigned to armies-of the, same' number. In fact, army artillery raggritppamenti were formed from them to reinforce armies in active operations, but even in these cases the numbers of the two units did not correspond, since the number of the raggruppamento was allotted in keeping with their particular numbering progression. In the case of corps artillery regiments, new formations were made by adding a zero to the number of the parent regiment. The latter is*usually the same as that of the corps. The battalions of the army and corps artillery regiments are distinctively numbered, but in an' elastic and variable manner, occasionally showing a semblance of system as in the Artillery Regiment with the 12th, 20th, 112th, and 120th Battalions. The highest known number of regular divisional artillery is 205. Although the battalions and batteries usually follow a regular progressive system of numbering within the higher unit, battalions numbered as high as 75 and batteries as high as 150 have been found. Other artillery units are numbered in separate series. Alpine

';i \ z 17

rnd mobile artillery regiments are numbered consecutively. Autonomous battalions attached to corps have numbers between 200 and 3.00. Self-propelled armored artillery battalions are in the 550 and 560 series, Some heavy self-propelled antitank battalions have been identified in the 160 series. Organic antitank battalions are usually numbered the same as the division but are .often attached to _;other divisions. Antitank companies, both organic and autonomous, are consecutively numbered, the highest found being 355. e. Cavalry regiments bear names and numbers, the latter in a regular sequence. There are- two independent groups, the CAVALLEGGERI DI SICILIA and the CAVALLEGGERI DI SARDEGNA, and three light tank groups, named SAN GIUSTO, SAN .MARCO, and SAN MARTINO. The battalions of cavalry regiments are numbered in two continuous series through- out all the regiments. The "1to 20 series was originally intended for mounted battalions, and the 51 to 60 for dismounted battalions. With few exceptions, cavalry battalions are. now all dismounted and are either autonomous or attached to other formations. J. Armored divisions are numbered in the 130 series. The tank regiments of these divisions bear the same number as the division, with a complement regim3nt at the regimental depot bearing a number 100 lower. For instance, the 132d Division had as first-line the 132d Tank Regiment and at its depot the 32d. In the case of the 131st CENTAURO, the 131st Tank Regiment was detached to in command of the tank battalions on the. island, while the 31st Tank Regiment went with the division The 1st, 3d, and 4th Tank Regiments are simply training and administrative depots. Medium battalions were numbered in a continuous series from 8 to 20. The four R35 battalions were numbered 1, 2, 101, and 102. Light battalions are numbered in sequence within each regiment from 1 upwards. Companies are numbered in sequence within each battalion. g. Engineer units follow no regular system. Army engineer

iegiments usually form raggrupparnenti, whose numbers do not usually coincide with those of the armies. Corps engineer regi- ments invariably bear the same nunber as the corps to which they belong, but the numbering of their battalions is variable. Mixed engineer battalions attached to divisions usually, bear the division number or a number related to it. Their components, particu- larly the pioneer company, often have the divisional number.. Signal companies assume independent numbering in series up to and over 100. h. The two parachute divisions were the 184th NEMBO, with the 184th and 185th Regiments, and the 185th FOLGORE, with the 186th and 187th Regiments. i. Coastal divisions have only numbers, all in the 200 series, the highest identified being the 226th. Coastal regiments are numbered between 1 and 178, and battalions as high as 581, with no correspondence between the two series. Coast. artillery bat- talions have been found numbered as high as 600, but the greatest percentage fall between 125 and 225. j. Smaller organic units, including mortar and battalions, usually bear the same number as the division to which they were originally assigned. However, due to the fluid condi- tion of Italian organization and the frequent reinforcement of higher formations by attachment of units, it is hardly ever pos- sible to locate the position of a division in an area by the identi- fication of only one of its components. Particular care must be exercised against locating the actual position of a division by the identification of its reserve units. 11. Army Group (Gruppo d'Armate) and Army (Armata). In peace, army groups and armies, with the exception of the Army of the , are represented only by the headquarters of the Army Generals designated to command them in war. In war, the composition of an army group and of an army varies, though the number of corps in an army does not normally exceed four.

The number of batteries and the caliber vary, but the weapons most commonly found with army artillery regiments are the 149/35 guns, 152/13 howitzers, and 210/8 mortars. Other heavy artillery that may be found is shown below: Guns Howitzers Mortars 149/40 210/22 260/9 152/37 305/17 305/8 152/45 305/10 (b) Organization oJ an Army Artillery, Regiment.

Divisions are frequently transferred from one corps to another, and an army corps abroad will usually-be found to contain divisions different from those which it normally contains in Italy.

Corps Artillery. The composition of a corps artillery regipa t ,may vary. from three to eight battalions of medium guns and howitzers. The usual weapons of corps artillery are the 105/28 and 105/32 guns and the 149/43 howitzer. There is evidence that the 149/35 gun is sometimes used by corps formations, but in this case it may.be decentralized from army. The following table sets forth the composition of a corps artillery regiment of six battalions, the mcst frequent organization: Regimental headquarters Three 149/13 motorized howitzer battalions (gruppi obici da 149/13 motorizzati) Headquarters Three batteries of 4 howitzers each Ammunition and supply train Three 103/28 motorized gun battalions (gruppi cannoni da 149/13 motorizzati) T OF'.

Most army corps artillery regiments have formed raggruppa- menti which bear the same number as the parent regiment. In North Africa the raggruppamento was the corps artillery pooi; in the case of some corps in the and Russia the raggruppa- mento " appears to include all the corps artillery in the field, the parent regiment existing only at the depot in Italy; in other cases the, raggruppamento has been detached from its- corps and sent to "a different theater. There are also a number of. raggruppamenti 'which have no corresponding corps artillery regiment.

13. Divisions.

a. Ordinary Infantry Division. These are called binary (divisione binaria) owing to the incor- poration of two infantry regiments instead of the old three regi- ment .(ternaria) organization.- As from 1 March 1940 a Black- shirt Militia Legion of two battalions was attached to infantry divisions, partly, it is believed, to increase the amount of infantry in the division and partly to include Blackshirt troops with regular army formations. The Legion is, however, described as an inde- penident mobile unit to be used as shock (assalto) troops.. During the Albanian campaign the weakness of the binary division be- came evident. Divisions which. had suffered heavy losses. had to be reformed with whatever infantry was available or even by merging. with another division. Now that infantry .divisions in the Balkans have been brought up to strength, some have been ;given. a third infantry regiment. IXis not yet clear whether this is a reserve or whether it means a change in establishment.. The following is the normal, organization of the ordinary in- fantry division: Headquarters Two Inf Regts

Supply and MT Cos Militia Legion The normal strength, of the division is- approximately. 1-2,500 including some 1-,350 Blackshirts. b. Assault and Landing.Division (divisione da sbarco e d'assalto). A new form of organization adopted in 1941 and believed to *have affected only three divisions, the: 1st SUPERGA, 4th LIVORNO, and 20th FRIULI. Of these the 1st SUPERGA was destroyed in This unit had -undergone training in combined 'operations:at Leghorn (the-:Italian combined :opera- tions center) ; and Gaeta, and in mountain warfare at Castelforte. For these special- tasks, certain specialized units .such as. 'assault engineers, rocclimbers and. flame-throwers .were -incorporated. into the division. T.o fit smaller units for independent operations heavy support weapons in the infantry regiment are, decentralized from regi- mental to battalion control and light -support weapons -from bat- talion to company control. c. 'Semi-Motorized Infantry Division (divisione .fanteria auto- trasportabile)., This division differs from ordinary infantry divisions in that it may have motorized artillery, no Blackshirt Legion, and two 'mortarbattalions in the field. if not.on table of organization. The artillery regiment consists .of: Headquarters Two 75/27 gun battalions (Mtz) 100/17 howitzer battalion (Mtz) 20 mm AA Btry Strength: 2,0 . en MT: 390

d. Motorized Infantry Division (TRENTO type). (divisione, fanteria motorizzata). Originally designed to operate with; an armored division. Three, the 16th PISTOIA, 101st TRENTO, and 102d TRIESTE, were destroyed in Africa in 1942 and 1943. The 10th PIAVE in Italy, the only remaining motorized division, does not appear to possess a Bersaglieri Regiment. e. Mountain Infantry Division (divisione di fanteria da mon- tagna). Mountain divisions differ from Alpini divisions and are infantry divisions especially adapted for operations in. mountainous countries where full use cannot be made of horse-drawn artillery and motor transport. The only difference in the organization of a mountain division as compared with an ordinary infantry division is in the artillery regiment. All guns can be transported in horse- drawn ,wagon-loads or. on pack animals. The artillery regiment consists of:. Headquarters Two 75/13 howitzer. battalions (pack) 75/13 howitzer battalion' (horse-drawn in loads) Strength: 2,791 men. MT: 142.'_ Animals: 910 f. Alpine Division (divisione alpina). Essentially mountain divisions with personnel drawn from Alpine regions. Alpine regiments are self-contained with de- tachments of artillery, engineers, and auxiliary services per- manently attached. This makes the regiment self-supporting and capable of independent action for a considerable period. Decentralization is further extended to Alpine battalions and companies which may b.e detached from their parent units and regrouped withartillery -units into raggruppamenti. ,. This -is facilitated by the. existence of independent transport even down to company level.

tea \. ' A.; ORDER .OF AS E OF THE ITALIAN ARMY

g. Cavalry Division (divisione celere). The main components are two horsed cavalry regiments and one cyclist Bersaglieri" regiment.. The cavalry regiments are virtually mounted infantry. The Bersaglieri regiment has col- lapsible bicycles and could be semi-motorized if necessary. The artillery regiment has two motorized batteries and one pack battery, and the division includes a support group of light tank squadrons. This semi-mechanized division was designed pri- marily for warfare in terrain which,.though mountainous, permits use of semi-mechanized formations in a reconnaissance or support role. Fire-power has been sacrificed to this end and it is not designed for defense. There are indications that efforts have been made to mechanize the. divisions completely; but this has been hindered by shortage of trained personnel and equipment and by demands being made on the divisions. Their motorized artillery batteries went to Libya. One division was sent to Russia with a re-formed horse- artillery regiment; and was later reinforced by a reserve motorized artillery regiment. h. Armored Division (divisione corazzata). The armored division as designed before the war with a mixture of light' and medium tanks, none heavier than 11 tons and the majority 3112 and ,5 tons, was incapable of more than light assault. Armored. divisions have changed radically in composition under German influence with an improved type of medium - tank, the introduction of self-propelled (semovente) guns, and heavier divisional support weapons. In. addition to a tank regiment of at least three battalions the divisionn now has a semi-motorized Bersaglieri regiment, 'a divi- sional artillery regiment of six battalions (two self-propelled), and probably an armored car unit. The following details apply to an armored division in North Afria,hic is ORGANIZATION OFj

Africatwhich is the only area for w OA4 available: Headquarters One tank regiment One Bersaglieri regiment One support and antitank battalion One armored division artillery regiment One mixed engineer battalion One supply company One medical company i. Parachute.Division. There have been only two Italian parachute divisions. The three original parachute regiments were formed into a division, probably mainly .for purposes of administration. The 185th FOLGORE was destroyed in Africa where it had been operating as ordinary infantry. The 184th NEMBO is now being trained in Italy, with an organization probably according to the original plan, as follows: Headquarters Two parachute regiments Parachute artillery regiment (47 mm AT guns) Parachute motorcycle. company Parachute' mortar company (81 mm) Parachute mixed engineer company Services j. Coastal Division. Coastal divisions, which at first appeared to be merely adminis- trative collections of coastal and territorial battalions for coast and home defense, have now assumed a more definite organization. Although still not possessing a fixed table of organization, they appear to include under their command, at least in Sicily where

One antitank battalion One or two MG battalions Three to seven artillery battalions One mortar company One motorcycle company Engineers 14. Small Units. a. Infantry (Fanteria). (1) Infantry regiment (reggimento Janteria). The standard Italian infantry regiment consists of three rifle battalions and 81 mm mortar and 47 mm AT gun companies. (2) Infantry regiment-Assault and Landing Division. Has no2 81 mm mortar and 47 mm AT companies. These weapons have been decentralized to. battalion support companies,. while the lighter weapons in turn have been assigned to the rifle companies. Thus both battalions and companies are better equipped for independent operations. (3) Grenadier regiment (reggimento granatieri). Only the three Sardinian Grenadier regiments, numbered from one to three, remain. The two Savoy Grenadier regiments stationed in , numbered ten and eleven, have been destroyed. A grenadier regiment has the same organization as an ordinary infantry regiment. (4) Semi-motorized division infantry regiment. Similar in organization and armament to, an ordinary infantry regiment.

Regiment con- siderably srnaller than an ordinary infantry regiment;. contains only two rifle battalions; third battalion-the regimental 'support and antitank battalion-includes a 20 mm AA :gun company, 47 mm AT company, 81 mm mortar company, and a MG gun company. (7) Alpine regiment. May contain two, three, or four battalions, though three is the normal number. The battalion is the highest Alpine unit which has a fixed organization. ' In addition to' its first-line units each regiment has formed at its depot a number of second-line battalions which may be. distinguished by the fact that their names always begin with VAL or MONTE. These battalions normally operate with Alpine artillery units, in independent raggruppamenti of varying sizes, but may also be used as replacements for the parent regiment. (8) Bersaglieri cyclist regiment. Allotted to cavalry (celere) divisions or army corps. (9) Bersaglieri.motorcyclist regiment. Allotted to. armored and motorized divisions. (10) Bersaglieri armored car regiment. A late development in Bersiiglieri units. One regiment, formed in Italy, is probably mainly a training unit. (11) Bersaglieri motorcyclist company. In cavalry (celere) divisions is detached and functions as an independent unit directly under the division commander. (12) Parachuteinfantry regiment. At present only two are known to exist, the 184th and 185th, newly formed in Italy presumably to replace the 186th and 187th,

which were destroyed in North Africa while fighting as ordinary infantry. (13) Motorized machine gun regiment. Normally assigned to army corps. Contains two MG battal- ions, which are also divisional troops. (14) Alpine-battalion The highest Alpine unit with a fixed organization. Battalions and companies contain independent supply and transport services and are frequently employed on independent missions. (15) T erritoriailMilitia battalions. Since the outbreak of the war certain Territorial Militia battal- ions have been formed from conscripts, presumably those unfit for -field ,service. , These battalions. have an organization. similar- to. that of. the territorial defense battalions of the .MVSN and work side by side with them under the dicection of the Territorial Defense Command, but they are conscripts and -not volunteers- like the MYSN. (16) Parachute battalion. The normal operational parachute unit. (17) Motorized machine gun battalion. Allotted to army corps. Some infantry divisions, particularly in .the Balkans, have been given MG battalions. (18) Pack machine gun battalions. A number of corps have pack MG battalions, usually in addition to the motorized regiment. b. Cavalry (Cavalleria). (1) Horsed cavalry regiment. Of the original horsed cavalry regiments, all have been dis- mounted except the regiments with the 1st and 3d Cavalry Divi- sions. The latter has been destroyed in Russia. (2) Mechanized cavalry regiment. The two cavalry regiments of the 2d-10avalry (celere) Division, recently converted to the 134th Armored Division, have been mechanized. OR GAANTZ t 3

(3) Dismounted cavalr All nondivisional cavalry regiments have been dismounted and detached to coastal or LC defense tasks throughout Italy: These regiments have ceased to act as such, their battalions being grouped administratively under the nearest cavalry regiment depot or detached to other formations. .(4) -Mechanized cavalry groups. Armored groups of the 1st NIZZA, 5th NOVARA, and 13th MONFERRATO Cavalry Regiments operated in Africa equipped with armored cars and L-6 tanks. (5) Independent cavalry groups. Two such groups exist, Sicilian Cavalry and Sardinian Cavalry. (6) Light tank groups. The cavalry arm includes three groups of light L-3 tanks, which are assigned to the three cavalry divisions. These have lately been detached from their formations for independent operations. c. Artillery (Artiglieria). Basic artillery units and their American equivalents are as follows: Raggruppamento (Corps or Army Group)-Regiment Reggimento-R egimnent Gruppo-Battalion Batteria-Battery Sezione-Section (1) Infantry division artillery regiment. Artillery regiments, except regiments of more recently created divisions (those with higher numbers), do not bear the same num- ber as the division. Infantry division artillery regiments contain two horse-drawn and one pack battalions, the former including a 100/17-howitzer battalion and a 75/27 gun battalion and the latter-being a 75/13 howitzer battalion. The regiment also contains a 20 mm AA battery.

Each Alpine artillery regiment allots one battalion to each Alpine regiment. in the division. Each battalion contains one battery for each; battalion in the Alpine regiment. Alpine artillery regiments may sometimes be issued 65/17 guns. (7) Cavalry (celere) division artillery regiment. Consists of two motorized and one horse-drawn 75/27 gun battalions and a motorized 20 mm AA battery. (8)' Armored division artillery regiment.

Consists of two 47 mim AT battalions, each with three batteries of four guns. (10) Army artillery regiment. Five exist, numbered from 1 to 5. These, however, do not belong to armies of the same number. (11) Army artillery raggruppamento. Four army artillery raggruppamenti have been identified. These are formed from army artillery regiments for service with armies operating in theaters of war but do not necessarily bear the same numbers as the armies to which they are allotted. Thus while the Eighth Army was in Russia, the 8th army artillery raggruppamento was in North Africa. (12) Army corps artillery regiment. Twenty-seven army corps headquarters exist but only 18 army corps artillery regiments have been identified. Eighteen army corps artillery regiments exist. (13) Army corps artillery raggruppamento. Nineteen army. corps artillery raggruppamenti have been identified. In the case of some corps in the Balkans and Russia the raggruppamento appears to include all the corps artillery overseas, the parent regiment existing only at the depot in Italy; in other cases the raggruppamento has no corresponding corps artillery regiment. (14) Antiaircraft artillery regiments. Eight exist, numbered 1 to 8. In addition there are independent groups in Sicily and . (15) Frontier Guard artillery.

* j. ** - ~ i i i;i \= *':I\ LE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY

Independent battalions and batteries of Frontier Guard artillery belong to the various covering sectors and are independent of the regiments except concerning technical matters. Although normally employed on defense of the northern fron- tiers of Italy, many Frontier Guard artillery units have recently been transferred to Southern Italy and the Mediterranean' islands. d. Armored Units. (1) Tank infantry regiment (reggimento fanteria carrista)'. One tank regiment, composed of from three to five tank battal- ions, was normally assigned to each armored division. The tank regiments of Italy's three armored divisiois, the 31st, 1324 and 133d Regiments, were destroyed in Africa. The 131st Tank Regiment, formerly the depot regiment of the 13 1st CENTAURO Division and equipped with French tanks (R 35), was separated from the division and sent to Sicily. The 32d and 33d Tank Regiments (depot) served as holding depots for the reserve and training battalions of their first-line divisional regiments. The 1st, 3d, and 4th Tank Regiments exist as training depots and as depots for forming new battalions. (2) Tank infantry battalion (battaglione fanteria carrista). Three to five battalions assigned to each tank regiment. (3) Light tank groups. The original light tank groups SAN GIUSTO, SAN MARCO, and SAN MARTINO, which belonged to the 1st, 2d, and 3d Cavalry Divisions, respectively, no longer exist. The names, however, occasionally persist (a) in theaters of operations in connection with the. cavalry divisions which fostered these groups and (6) at the original depots of the units 'where new drafts continue in some cases to use the old names. (4) Armored cavalry groups. Armored car groups have been identified with the 8th, 10th, and 16th Cavalry Regiments, now incorporated in the reconsti- tuted 132d ARIETE Armored Division. Armored groups

The latest development is the appearance of self-propelled 75/18 guns in cavalry regiments. (5) Self-propelled artillery units. (a) 75/18 SF Armored Battalion mounted on M 14/41 tank chassis. This was the first self-propelled unit to appear (early 1942) and is a normal close support unit. Battalions are numbered consistently in the 550's-560's. Recently a three-battery battalion in- stead of the normal two-battery type has been identified. (b) 90/53 SP Armored units on M 15 tank 'chassis.

Section IV.. OTHER MILITARIZED AND AUXILIARY ORGAN- IZATIONS 15. Fascist Militia (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazio- nale or MVSN). The militia, popularly known as Blackshirts (Camicie Nere, CCNN) is a purely 'Fascist partly organization whose primary function is the defense and support of the Fascist regime. In 1923 the militia was declared an integral part of the armed forces of the state, while retaining its identity as an independent force. Blackshirts were organized under a GHQ at under Mus- solini, with a Chief of Staff' as the executive commander. The latter in war comes under the' direct orders.of the Chief of the General Staff., Territorially, the Militia is organized into 14 Zone Commands in Italy, corresponding roughly to an army corps area in peace time. No militia zone commands exist overseas. a. Ordinary Militia. (1) Groups oJ Legions. .Thirty-three such groups exist as administrative headquarters in Italy; (2) Legions (Administrative). These are depot legions established in Italy and responsible for raising and training operational battalions for service with the army. Each administrative legion bears- a name and a' number. The names may be of places (e. g. CREMONA), or of men (e. g. MUSSOLINI), or of qualities (e. g. FEDELISSIMA). (3) .Legions (Divisional,or Operational). In theory, divisional Blackshirt legions, containing at least two operational battaions, -are intended to be an organic part 'of infantry divisions. Injractice however this organization. has

broken down. Many battalions have had to be withdrawn from first-line divisions owing to their lack of training and poor fighting qualities; others were transferred from one division to another with great frequenc nd. filly were formed into inde- pendent raggrupparti:; This was v rtually a return to the militia organization which _was officially abandoned when the battalions were incorporated into the army. Divisional legions generally bear the name and number of one of their constituent battalions. (4) Blackshirt Rcggrppamenti. These consist of a variable number of groups of operational battalions. Two such raggruppamenti, GALBIATI and DIA- MANTI, were disbanded at the conclusion of the Greek cam- paign; 23 MARZO and 3 GENNAJO were destroyed in Russia; the 30th Raggruppamento in Sardinia and the 10th Raggrup- pamento in still exist. (5) Blackshirt battalion (battaglione d'assalto or battaglione CONN). An operational unit, composed of volunteers, for service with the Army. In March 1940, 132 Militia battalions were incorporated into the Army, 82 being. assigned to 41 infantry divisions. Each pair of battalions attached to infantry divisions generally coD- stitutes a divisional legion. Operational battalions bear the name of their parent (adminis- trative) legion and a number. (6) "A" (Aorte) Blackshirt battalions. Operational battalions selected for special training and service abroad as independent units, not attached to infantry divisions.. (7) Blackshirt territorialdefense battalions. Raised by administrative legions at depot and training centers in Italy. Operationally, under orders of the Territorial Defense Command. Organized into cohorts (coorti)., centuries (centurie) and maniples

(manipoli), corresponding to battalions, companies, and platoons in the operational battalions. b. Special . (1) Antiaircraft and Coast Defence, Militia (Milizia Artiglieria Controaerei, MAC-formerly known as DICAT-and Milizia Artiglieria Marittima, MAM-formerly known as MIL- MART). Although administered from a single headquarters '(Comando Milizia Contraerei e Artiglieria arittira), these two militia organizations normally operate separately.' The Ministries of War and Navy are responsible for technical equipment and maintenance. In war, units of both the militias operate under the control of local Territorial Defense Headquarters. Both MAC and MAM are composed of men between the ages of 18 and 20, or over the age of 37, or who are unfit for active service. (a) Antiaircraft Artillery (MAC). The AA defenses of the Army and of the 'country itself are separate, the MAC being responsible only for the latter. - The MAC comprises a Central AA Militia school, 5-groups of legions, and 22 legions. Each legion contains 4 battalions of 4 batteries each of 4 AA guns (76/40 and 76/45) and 2 heavy MGs. A battery has 3 officers and 134 enlisted men. (b) 'Coast Defense. Militia (MAM). Responsible for manning coast defense batteries; comprises a headquarters, 3 groups of legions, 14 legions, and a school. Coast defense batteries of defended ports and bases are generally manned by naval personnel. (2) Railway Militia (Milizia Fierroviaria). In peace, the Railway militia preserves order on the railways. In war, they are used as railway guards and possibly as railway operating troops! The personnel is drawn from the staff of the State Railways.

eadquarters, 14 legions, and. 49 cohorts, with a total strength of 30,000. (3) Ports Militia (Milizia Port'aria). Responsible for the security of ports; comprises a headquarters, 1 training school, and 4 legions, with a total strength of 1,000. (4) Post and Telegraph MMilitia (Milizia Postelegrafica). In war this militia forms the nucleus of a military censorship department and of the Field Postal Service. (5) Forests Miilitia (Milizia Forestale). Responsible for the' protection and exploitation of forests, fisheries, and game. Some of the units are given special military training, and units served as combatant troops in the' Italo- Ethiopian and. Italo-Greek wars. The Forests Militia cooperate with the Army for supplies of timber and are employed in the preparation of camp and bivouac sites. The organization consists of a headquarters, 9 territorial legions, motorized legions, 3 autonomous cohorts, 1 college, 1 school, and 1 Albanian Legion, with a total strength of 5,000. (6) Roads Militia (Milizia Stradale). Responsible for road police duties. In war, it cooperates with the (Carabinieri) in traffic control, but its units are not used as combat troops except in an emergency. 'The organization consists: of 5 inspectorates, 4 groups of sec- tions; 19 sections, and 47 detachments, with a total strength of 1,200. .(7) University Militia (Mfilizia Universitaria). Responsible for pre-miitary training in universities. Its mem- bers normally become reserve officers. upon graduation. Organization is as follows: 1 headquarters, 9 legions, and 14 autonomous cohorts for training. 69 school detachments (reparti scuola) organized in bat- talions, companies, and platoons for training.

A legion of. the University Militia fought in the Ethiopian War and members served in . (8) Frontier Militia (Milizia ConJinaria). Composed. of special detachments of ordinary militia legions located in the vicinity of the frontier.. It is responsible for the policing of the frontier in cooperation with Customs Guards and Carabinieri, Members must be mountaineers with an intimate knowledge of the frontier districts. The organization includes a Headquarters at Turin, a school at Tolmezzo, and 4 Legions, with a total strength of 2,400. c. Young Fascists (Giovani Fascisti). On the entry of Italy into the war in 1940 volunteer battalions of Young Fascists who were due for military service in the fol- lowing year were enlisted ihto 24 special battalions with an official establishment of 19,000. They are used for local defense in rein- forcement of the territorial battalions of the CCNN. 16. Frontier Guards (;GaF). Organized into a Special Corps in 1939, they are responsible for the defense of frontier districts. Whereas they were formerly only fortress artillery the new organization gave them supporting arms, independence of action, and the primary task of acting as a covering force. Frontier Guards organization now includes artillery and in- fantry regiments, machine gun battalions and companies, engi- neers, and services. Operationally, they are organized in cover- ing sectors (settori di copertura), which are divided into sub-sectors (sotto-settori) and fortified positions (caposaldi). Each sector is numbered and has units of artillery, infantry, and machine guns. In war, a group of sectors may come under the command of an army corps where Frontier Guards headquarters are attached, In peacetime they may come under the Territorial Defense Command.

17. Royal Carabinieri' arabinieriReali-OCRR). Carabinieri are the senior arm of the regular army, but though trained, and occasionally used as fighting troops, their normal function is that of a military police force. The recruiting, dis- cipline, equipment, and armament of the Carabinieri are the responsibility of the Ministry of War, but as regards purely police duties, they come under the- Ministry of the Interior. In the field their duties include traffic control, escort duties, security, and counter-espionage (known as Centro Statistico).. Mobile battalions are used for reconnaissance and liaison between operating units. Carabinieri are responsible for the registration of the annual conscript classes and the smooth working of mobilization. In addition, they perform the duties of a civilian police force except where the Corps of Public Security Officers or municipal police function. Each army headquarters has 12 CCRR sections and each corps and division 2 CCRR sections for administrative and military police duties. Each section has a strength of 1 officer or warrant officer and 70 other ranks. a. Headquarters. The headquarters of the Carabinieri is located at Rome and is commanded by an . b. CCRR Divisions. The three Carabinieri divisions, which are purely administrative organizations, are commanded by Divisional Generals of the CCRR and are designated as follows: 1. PASTRENGO- 2.' PODOGA-Rome 3. OGADEN- c. CCRR Brigades or Zone Inspectorates. There are 7 Brigades -numbered 1, to 7 and commanded by Brigadier Generals of the CCRR. For questions regarding mili- tary training and other subjects outside the scope of their civil

There are 28 Legion; Headquarters in various, towns in Italy. Territorial legions are divided into a varying number of groups.. Groups are of two kinds, gruppi interni for the towns, and gruppi esterni for the country districts, and are further sub-divided into companies (tenenze or. lieutenant's -command), sections (sezioni), and posts (stazioni). Territorial legions also. include mobile groups (nuclei) of motorcyclist machine gunners; in addition two battalions of, the CCRR are attached to the Rome territorial legion and one each to the BOLZANO and PALERMO territorial legions. They are probably identical with mobile battalions of the CCRR consisting of motorcyclist and light tank sections. The Rome territorial legion also contains one group of squadrons of mounted Carabinieri. The latter form the King's bodyguard (Carabinieri Guardia del Re), popularly known as Corazzieri (Cuirassiers). e. Other Units. The Carabinieri also include one High Command of CCRR in , a Central Carabinieri school,. and a Cadet Legion. An Autonomous Group of CCRR in the Aegean Islands is administered by, the. 2d Division at Rome. Carabinieri units are generally known by the names of the loc~alities in which they are stationed. 18. Royal Customs Guard (Regia Guardia di Finanza). The Customs Guard is an integral part of the Armed Forces of the State, its members being recruited largely from moun- taineers with an intimate knowledge of the frontier districts of Italy. The force is under the Minister of Finance except as regards mobilization, when it comes under the Minister of War. In the colonies it is under the local governor. The Guards are stationed along the land and sea frontiers of

Italy a mercial centers. Their main functions are to prevent smuggling and assist in 'the collection of taxes.. In war their forces are placed at, the disposal of the army to cooperate with the Frontier Militia and Frontier Guards in form- ing a covering force during the period' of mobilization and con- centration. A few battalions were formed as' fighting troops and took part in the Albanian campaign. Organization is on a terri- torial basis, under the Ministry of Finance. There is a GHQ at. Rome directing Zone Inspectorates' (Ispettorati di Zona) which control Custom's Guard Legions. Italy is divided into fifteen Customs Guard districts, one for each principal town, with each district supervised by a legion. A legion (legione) consists of two battalions (circoli) each of two companies. A company 'has two or three platoons (tenenze or lieutenant's commands), each of three sections (brigate). Trieste and Naples each have an inner and outer. circolo so that in these. cases there are four instead of two battalions in the legions. The sections, which, vary in number of. personnel, are of the. following, different categories: a. Mobile Brigade (Brigata Volante) .- Personnel dressed -,in civilian clothes. Responsible for 'inspection -ofshops and offices. ' b. Fixed Brigade '(Brigata Stanziale) .- Stationed at factories operating under state monopoly and at docks. c. Coastal Brigade (Brigata di Spiaggia) .- Responsible for anti- smuggling activities. d. Maritime Brigade (Brigata Mare).-Customs guards pro- vided with cutters for the inspection of vessels. e. Mixed Brigade (Brigata Mista).-May have one or more of the above functions.

Section VI. TABLES OF IDENTIFIED UNITS 23. Introduction. The following pages contain only those units which have been identified. These are listed in tabular form with details as to their character and the higher units to which they belong, so far as these are known. Paragraph 24 is a reference chart listing the more important units and offers an easy means for identifying a division through identification of one of its components. The number in the column headed "No of Unit" is the number assigned to any of the units listed at the top of the chart. The number under each of these units is the number of the division to which the unit is assign'ed. As an example, the 1st Inf Regt is in the 13th Inf Div; the 1st Gr Regt in the 21st Inf Div; the 1st Cay Regt in the 2d Cav, Div; the 1st Alp Regt in the 4th Alp Div, and so forth. The column headed "Division or World War Brigade" applies only to the Infantry Regiments. Since infantry regiments are normally assigned in pairs, beginning with an odd number, to their brigades and divisions, the name listed in this column is that of the higher formation to which the two infantry regiments printed beside it are assigned. For example, the 1st and 2d Inf Regts belong to the 13th RE Div; the 135th and 136th Inf Regts formed part of the World War Brigade. In Paragraph 25 are listed alphabetically by name. all units which have names with their identifications. Knowledge of the name of a unit will permit identification of the unit's number and cross reference either to the "Key to Divisional Units" or directly to the division pages. Frequent reference should be made to this table of names, since Italian units are normally identified both by name and by number, the one serving to check the other. 166

" -Ims--~ ------4){f QDE:R 9 OF TIE ITALIAN ARMY 9 Section II. GENERAL~ ERIS 33. Introductioan. a, Use of the: Index. -The index below contains the latest avail- able information on general officers in the Italian Army, African Police, Customs Guards, and Fascist Militia.' They are listed in alphabetical order, without regard to rank or branch. The index is incomplete, as there are undoubtedly many general officers about whom no information is available. Some of. the officers described below as prisoners of war are not carried in recent Italian Army Officers' Registers; in this case they may be Air Force officers. The age given is that reached in 1943. "Seniority" is the date of the officer's promotion to his present rank. The date under "Appointment (as of)" is that on which his most recent known appointment became effective. The date under the heading "Last identified" is not always the date on which the officer was last known definitely to be occupying the post listed under "Appointment"; it' is, however, an indication of the value of the information as a whole. For example, a combat officer in his fifties or early sixties who was last identified in July 1941 is not likely to be occupying at present the post to which he was assigned two years ago. On the otter hand, an officer in the medical or judicial branch, or a reserve officer in his late sixties, may very well have the same- appointment for several years. b. Ranks.-English-speaking readers should be careful not to translate the Italian "Maggiore Generale" and "Tenente Gen- erale" as and . In the Italian Army. a _-of Infantry or...Cavalry is always called "Generale di Brigata," while a Brigadier. General of Artillery, Engineers, or services is usually known as a "Maggiore Generale." The latter, however, may be called "Generale di Brigata" if he is actually commanding a brigade. Similarly, a Major General in the Infantry or Cavalry is a "Generale di Divisione," while an officer of this rank in one of the other arms or services is called , _d 43 GENERL 0 ~~ace

"Tenente Generale" unless he is in command of i i n General officers in the Carabineers and in the Fascist Militia have still other titles. (See chart below). Ranks of general officers in the Air Force are very similar to those in the Army, with the addition of the word "Aerea." In the , officers other than those of the line use Army titles of rank. For the sake of clarity in the index below, the symbol "Brig Gen". is used for all Army and Carabineer officers whose rank is equivalent to that of a United States Brigadier General. "Div Gen" is used for all Army and Carabineer officers whose rank is equivalent to that of a United States Major General. For the Fascist Militia officers, however, the original Italian titles are used.
