History

Cold War

The battalion is the spiritual successor of the logistic units of the 2nd Alpine Division "Tridentina", which had fought in the Greco-Italian War and the Italian campaign in the Soviet Union of World War II, and of the logistic units of the Alpine Brigade "Tridentina", which was formed on 1 May 1951 in Brixen. [1]

On 1 December 1956, the Service Units Command "Tridentina" was formed in Vahrn, which consisted of the 56th Medical Section, the 56th Provisions Section, a mobile vehicle park, a mobile workshop, and an auto unit. At a later date the command also received the 106th Field Hospital. On 1 November 1961, the mobile vehicle park and mobile workshop merged to form the Resupply, Repairs, Recovery Unit "Tridentina". [1]

On 1 January 1967, the Service Units Command "Tridentina" was reorganized as Services Grouping Command "Tridentina", which consisted of a command, the Auto Unit "Tridentina", the 56th Provisions Section, the Resupply, Repairs, Recovery Unit "Tridentina", the 56th Medical Section, and the 106th Field Hospital. On 1 May 1973, the 56th Medical Section and 106th Field Hospital entered the newly formed Medical Battalion "Tridentina". [1]

On 1 March 1976, as part of the 1975 army reform, the Services Grouping Command "Tridentina" was reorganized as Logistic Battalion "Tridentina". Initially the battalion consisted of a command, a command and services platoon, two light logistic units, a medium logistic unit, and two reserve medical units. [1] At the time the battalion fielded 712 men (42 officers, 92 non-commissioned officers, and 588 soldiers). [3] On 12 November 1976, the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone granted with decree 846 the battalion a flag. [1] [4]

In 1981, the two medical units merged into a single reserve medical unit. On 1 January 1982, the battalion was reorganized and consisted afterwards of the following units: [1]
