History

Cold War

The battalion is the spiritual successor of the logistic units of the Alpine Brigade "Cadore", which was formed on 1 July 1953 in Belluno. On 10 October 1956, the logistic units of the brigade were assigned to the newly formed Service Units Command "Cadore". The command consisted of a medical section, a provisions section, a mobile vehicle park, a mobile workshop, and an auto unit. On 1 November 1961, the mobile vehicle park and mobile workshop merged to form the Resupply, Repairs, Recovery Unit "Cadore". [1]

On 1 January 1967, the Service Units Command "Cadore" was reorganized as Services Grouping Command "Cadore", which consisted of a command, the Auto Unit "Cadore", a provisions company, the Resupply, Repairs, Recovery Unit "Cadore", and a medical section. On 1 February 1968, the command received the 103rd Field Hospital, which on 1 August 1973, was assigned, together with the command's medical section, to the newly formed Medical Battalion "Cadore". [1]

On 1 January 1976, as part of the 1975 army reform, the Services Grouping Command "Cadore" was reorganized as Logistic Battalion "Cadore". 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. 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]

On 1 January 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]
