From 26 March to 18 April 2025<\/strong> takes place Open Sea 2025<\/strong>the most important training exercise of the Naval Squadron<\/strong> and the entire Navy. The event, which this year will be held in the spring edition only<\/strong>, involves over 6,000 military personnel<\/strong> of 8 NATO allied countries, with the participation of more than 120 vehicles<\/strong> between naval units, submarines, aircraft, helicopters and unmanned vehicles, as well as observers from 21 foreign navies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activities are developed in aarea of more than 600,000 km\u00b2<\/strong>including national seas, international waters and strategic Italian coastlines such as the Lazio, Sardinia, Sicily<\/strong>, extending to the island of Crete and the Balearic Islands<\/strong>. The Central Mediterranean<\/strong> is therefore once again the focus of aeronaval operations, confirming the geopolitical importance of this quadrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint, multi-domain exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 'Open Sea 2025' is attended by a large component Italian interforce<\/strong>, composed of units of the Navy <\/strong>, departments of the Italian Army<\/strong>, arrangements of theAir Force<\/strong>as well as operators of Carabinieri<\/strong>of the Guardia di Finanza<\/strong> and the Harbour Master's Office<\/strong>. The exercise also involves land manoeuvring units<\/strong>both embarked and deployed on the ground, operating in a realistic and complex scenario simulating all forms of threats in naval, underwater, airborne and land-based environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event there will also be specialised activities such as theITA MINEX<\/strong>the main Italian exercise dedicated to the war of mines<\/strong>which will also see the participation of NATO standing force minesweepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, it will also an Advanced Medical Post activated in the port of Civitavecchia<\/strong>increasing the logistical and sanitary component of operations, while a naval force under the EUROMARFOR flag<\/strong> (the European Maritime Force composed of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal) will be deployed to help manage the forces present and the complexity of the operational scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning: multinational coordination and operational efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The preparation of Mare Aperto 2025 is the result of careful planning that began months earlier and materialised in the recent Initial Planning Conference (IPC)<\/strong>held at the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Squadron in Santa Rosa<\/strong>. The meeting was attended by over 100 representatives of the nations involved<\/strong>both in presence and by videoconference. The event made it possible to refine the training scenario, define the exercise areas and optimise coordination between the actors involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'Rear Admiral Aurelio De Carolis<\/strong>Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Squadron, emphasised:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\"Mare Aperto represents a pivotal moment in every training year, offering crews the opportunity to grow and compare themselves realistically within a scenario that is extremely adherent to the challenges of today's world.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The operational debut of Nave Trieste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La amphibious component<\/strong> of the exercise is complemented by the simultaneous participation of the three units of the LPD line: Nave San Marco<\/strong>, Nave San Giorgio<\/strong> e Nave San Giusto<\/strong>. The units transport wards of the San Marco Marine Brigade<\/strong> and the Lagunari Regiment 'Serenissima<\/strong>committed to the landing operations in Sardinia<\/strong>together with logistical and operational support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards an increasingly modern and interoperable Navy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The presence of the entire LPD line in the exercise confirms the high level of technical and maintenance efficiency<\/strong> achieved by the Navy and its national industry. The induction of Ship Trieste<\/strong> represents only the beginning of a ambitious modernisation programme<\/strong> of the amphibious component, which includes the arrival of the new LCM<\/strong> (landing craft) and, in the future, of the new LPD-X<\/strong>with greater load capacity and operational versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central role for Italy in the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

'Open Sea 2025' demonstrates the Italy's central role in Mediterranean security<\/strong>both as an operational guide within NATO and as a reference point for multilateral cooperation such as EUROMARFOR<\/strong>. Italy confirms its ability to project power, coordinate allies and deal with high complexity scenarios<\/strong>strengthening its strategic positioning in international maritime defence.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
