Warfighting scenario exercises "BOA" and "CINGHIALE" for the 186th Parachute Regiment Folgore

The 186th Parachute Regiment 'Folgore recently concluded an important training cycle in a warfighting scenario on the Montagnola Senese, aimed at strengthening the operational and readiness capabilities of its personnel. The exercises, called “BOA” (23-27 settembre) e “CINGHIALE” (14-18 ottobre)were organised with the aim of perfecting technical-tactical procedures in a combat scenarioproviding paratroopers with a training experience that simulates real-life intervention situations in hostile environments.

During the exercises, the paratroopers measured themselves in highly realistic scenarios. Each phase was structured with opposing parties, i.e. teams facing each other to test their tactical and decision-making skills. To enhance realism, blank ammunition and sophisticated simulation systems such as the SIAT (Integrated Terrestrial Training System) and the TWS (Training Wall System).

L’ambiente addestrativo, caratterizzato da terreni accidentati, condizioni climatiche impegnative e comunicazioni degradate, ha consentito ai militari di operare in condizioni molto simili a quelle reali. L’addestramento del personale della “Folgore” è fondamentale per il potenziamento delle capacità operative dell’Esercito Italiano e per garantire alla Difesa elevati standard capacitivi a favore di interventi in situazioni di crisi ed emergenza.
