The month of September saw the parachutists of the 183rd 'Nembo' Regiment engaged in an intensive training cycle at the Monte Romano (VT) area, aimed at consolidating operational capabilities and testing the department's readiness level, as well as verifying the amalgamation between the different components of the regiment and the reinforcing forces (augmentees), preparing them to respond effectively to possible crisis situations.
The first phase of the exercise took place under the guidance of the Tactical Training Centre (CAT) in Monte Romano, where the 'Nembo' took part in complex-level tactical manoeuvres in a scenario with real Opposing Forces, drawn from the 'Granatieri di Sardegna' Brigade. Thanks to the use of the Integrated Systems for Land Training (SIAT), the unit was able to operate in an environment characterised by a very high level of realism, thus improving the effectiveness of manoeuvres.
The training saw an operational progression that started from the Basic Operating Modules (MOBs) and culminated in a multi-weapon Tactical Group level offensive operation, conducted following a CH-47 Chinook helicopter force, demonstrating the effectiveness of complex mission planning and execution.
Numerous activities were conducted during the exercise, including:
- Shooting with departmental and portable weapons;
- Counter-IED procedures;
- Crowd and Riot Control Techniques;
- Military Combat Method (MCM);
- Force Protection Procedures;
- Training in Basic Life Support (BLS);
- Radio communications and Emergency Close Air Support (E-CAS) procedures;
- Personnel Recovery.
