The Parachutists of the 183rd Regiment Nembocommitted to theNATO Joint Enterprise operationThey play a key role in patrolling the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) that separates Kosovo from Serbia. The activity, entrusted to the 183rd Regiment as the framework unit of the Regional Command West (RC-W), involves the control of an area of about 8,000 square kilometres, characterised by impervious terrain and altitudes exceeding 1,500 metres.
Specifically, the demarcation line in the Italian area of responsibility extends over 16 kilometres. The soldiers of the RC-W, currently led by Colonel Francesco Errico, ensure compliance with the Military Technical Agreement signed in 1999, maintaining a constant presence to protect security along the ABL. For these operations, the units make use of the Tactical Light Multirole Vehicle (VTLM) 'Lince' and the BV 206S tracked vehicle, as well as specific equipment for movement on foot in particularly inaccessible or snowy areas.
The patrol task entrusted to the 183rd Regiment "Nembo" is part of the operational activities of KFOR Regional Command West, aimed at ensuring the stability of the area and fostering cooperation with international bodies and local authorities. These initiatives are conducted in full compliance with the principles of transparency and impartiality, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999). The contribution of the Italian Paratroopers once again confirms the professionalism and readiness of the Italian Armed Forces in international contexts.
