FOREWORD.
Order of Battle intelligence consists of carefully sifted and evalu-
ated information received from a great variety of sources on the
organization, strength, and disposition of -enemy forces. This
information, if complete and accurate, not only facilitates the
planning of military operations but enables commanders in ` the
field to judge the enemy's local capabilities and to make their
decisions accordingly.
The purpose of this text is to furnish intelligence officers with a
detailed picture of the basic composition and disposition of the
Italian Army. The first part, comprising sections I to IV, is for
general orientation on the structure of the Army and its high
command, the types of units and their organization, and the other
Italian militarized and auxiliary formations. The second part,
consisting of sections V to VII, is the Order of Battle proper,
giving specific data on the names, numbers, composition, location,
and commanders of all identified units of the Italian Army. This
latter type of information is of course constantly changing, and it
is therefore intended to issue sectional or complete revisions of the
book at suitable intervals.
More details on the basic organization of units, means of identi-
fication, symbols, and abbreviations will be found in the forth
coming Technical Manual on the Italian Armed Forces and the
MIS Special Series publication on Italian military abbreviations,
signs, and symbols.
All. intelligence personnel concerned with the Italian Army
should become thoroughly familiar with the contents and arrange-
inent of this book so that they an perform their duties more
intelligently and can use the great mass of factual data given here
as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Section I. ITALIAN HIGH COMMAND
1. Introduction.
Within certain limitations due to differences in political organi-
zation of the two countries, the Italian military system is very
similar to the German. It is obvious that the interrelation of
the Armed Forces of the Axis Powers has been in effect for some
time, at least sufficiently to have permitted the modeling of
various principles of organization of the one upon those of the
other.
The Armed Forces (Forze Armate) of the Italian state are re-
garded as a single service and comprise the following branches:
the Royal Army (Regio Esercito), the Royal Navy (Regia Ma-
rina), the Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica), the Royal
Customs Guards (Regia Guardia di Finanza), and the Fascist
Militia (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale-MVSN)
or Blaekshirts (Camicie Nere--CCNN).
2. Supreme Command of the Armed Forces.
The King is the Supreme Commander of all armed forces
(Comandante Supremo delle Forze Armate dello Stato). In time
of peace he delegates his powers to the Ministers of War, Navy,
and Air; in time of war a Supreme Commander is appointed by
Royal. Decree with the approval of the Council of Ministers.
Hitherto MUSSOLINI, as Head of the State and Minister of War,
Navy, and Air, could determine the selection of the Supreme
Commander and exercise direct control over the. Armed Forces
both in peace and in war. In addition MUSSOLINI was Chairman
of the Supreme Commission of Defense (Commissione Suprema
di Difesa), an inter-ministerial and Armed Forces council re-
sponsible for the coordination of all policies and practices of total

war. Its membership comprises the highest officials of the State
and the ranking members of the Armed Forces.
The Supreme Commander appointed bears the title of Chief
of the Supreme General Staff (Capo di Stato Maggiore Generale)
and is selected from the ranking officers of any branch of the
Armed Forces. Theoretically, he was the technical adviser of
MUSSOLINI in till matters concerning the coordination of de-
fense and the conduct of land, sea, and air operations. In the
exercise of his functions he works in conjunction with the Chiefs
of Staff of the Army. Navy, and Air Forces. To facilitate this
coordination, he has his own staff (State Maggiore Generale),
which functions as liaison between himself and the various
services through the respective ministries and general staffs.
3. Army High Command.
`l'hc Commander in Chief of the Army is the Chief of the Army
General Staff. Selected from the general officers of the At-my, lie
Is appointe-d by Royal Decree. on approval of the Council of
Ministers. Ile serves under the Chief of the Supreme General
Staff and functions as technical adviser to the Minister of War
in time of peace. In time of war he exercises his appointed
functions at. the headquarters of the armies in the field. He
communicates directly with army and field commanders, com-
manders of corps areas, and inspectors of the various arms and
services. Ile is assisted by the Deputy Chief of Staff (Sottocapo
di Stato Maggiore).
The Armv General Staff consists of three sections, each ad-
ministered by an Assistant Chief of Staff appointed by Royal
Decree: (1) Operations (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore per le
Operazioni), which supervises territorial and colonial operations,
training, records, and intelligence; (2) Administration (Sottocapo
di Stato Maggiore Intendente), which supervises organization,
mobilization, transportation, and services; and (3) Territorial
Defense (Sottocapo di Stato Maggiore per la Difesa Territoriale),
which is responsible for all defense, including coast defense as far

as concerns the Army but excluding frontier defense. Officers
of the General Staff are rarely posted to this section, which
normally consists of specialists in the various branches within
whose jurisdiction defensive measures fall.
Each branch of the Aim ,d Forces has its own General Staff.
The Army General Staff t,S:ato Maggiore dell' Esercito) is com-
posed of the General Staff Corps (Corpo di Stato Maggiore) and
the General Staff Service (Servizio di Stato :Maggiore). The
head of the General-Staff Corps is the Chief of the Army General
Staff. After at tluve-year course at the Staff College and upon
recommendation of a board from the General Staff Corps, officers
selected for the Arniy General Staff are reassigned for one year to
the headquarters of a line unit. On successful completion of this
assignment, they are posted to the General Staff Service and serve
as heads of the various staff departments of a. unit headquarters,
assisted by attached and compleni.entarv o?I'imra who may be
temporarily employed. On promotion, an o'ffieer must sts've with
a unit of his own arm for two years, after which he is again as-
signed to the General Staff Service. On promotion to at, rank
equivalent to that of Lieutenant Colonel, and subject to having
fulfilled his duties satisfactorily', an officer is transferred to the
General Staff Corps. There are normally 48 Colonels and 178
Lieutenant Colonels in the Corps, while the number of officers
in the Service is unlimited. All chiefs of staffs in higher forma-
tions are members of the General Staff Corps. Since these
officers remain in close collaboration with the parent body, the
Chief of the Army General Stair (and through him the Chief of
the Supreme General Staff) is kept in very close touch with the
daily conduct of the war.

Section II. BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY
5. Introduction.
For practical reasons-in order to facilitate mobilization, pre-
pare the nation for total war, and especially to free field unit
commanders from territorial and administrative responsibilities---
the Italian Army is divided into Field Units (unitd di campagna)
and Territorial IJnits (cnti ferritoriali). The Field Army is under
the direct control of the Chief of the Army Staff and his staff at
field headquarters, who devote themselves primarily to military
operations. All other matters are entrusted to the Lander Secre-
tary of War (usually a high rank in army officer) and the Assistant
Chief of Staff for Territorial I) fence. A permnairent home struc-
ture is set up in peace time and carries over, with accelerated and
more extensive functions, in time of war.
6. Regional Organization.
Army Commands are repres cited in peace time by the Army
Generals designated to command armies in time of war (Generali
designafi d'_Arzneta). These comiranders are responsible under
the Minister of INIar and the Chief of the Army Staff for all
military administration and l,reparations for war in the areas
allotted to them. In time of war, they may l;e given effective
command of an army. The rank of Army General Designate
continues to exist in time of war.
Army Corps Areas were responsible in peace time for all troops,
services, headquarters and other military establishments v itbiii
the Corps Area. The headquarters of the Corps were stationed
within definite areas which wei c also designated Territorial De-
fense Commands (Ofmiando di. Difuma Territuriale). There were
16 of them at the outbreak of war, as follows:

They are numbered concurrently with the Corps whose head-
quarters and components they contained in peace time. There
were in addition corps headquarters for four independent corps-
Armored at Mantova, Alpine at Trento, Cavalry (Celere) at
Padova, and Semi-Motorized at Cremona-which were in effect
staffs to control the training *and organization of the specialized
units. They did not have a corresponding Territorial Defense
Command.
Since the Commander of the Corps Area would on mobilization
depart with his corps to join the Field Army, his main concetn
was the training and equipment of the corps in preparation for
war. All administrative matters were assigned to a deputy, nor-
mally a Reserve Officer unsuited for active field service but quali-
fied by seniority and experience for the post. Each Territorial
Defense Command thus became responsible in time of war for
the continued provision of trained manpower and administrative
services for the corps which had originally come from that area
and for those subsequently organized in it. In addition, due to
the particularly exposed situation of the Italian peninsula, each
was made responsible for local antiaircraft, coastal, antigas, rail-
road, and other defenses. These Corps Areas were originally
divided into varying numbers of Military Zones, of which there
were twenty-eight in all, corresponding to the number of divi-
sions of the conscript army. These were in turn subdivided into
Military Districts (Distretti lllilitari).

All Italian males are subject to military duty. Training begins
at an early age and carries through most of the Italian's life.
Training in youth organizations is under the control of the
Gioventu Italiana del Littorio (GIL) and is divided into the
following subdivisions:
Figli della Lupa from birth to 8 years of age
Balilla from 8 to 14 years of age
Avanguardisti from 14 to 16 years of age
Giovani Fascisti from 16 to 18 years of age
Premilitari from 18 to 21 years of age
The Balilla and the Avanguardisti are given the first rudiments
of military instruction and are organized on the basis of the
ancient Roman legionary system. Compulsory military training
begins at the age of 18, when youths are subjected to intensive
preparatory courses and exercises for their future conscript service.
During this period, youths are selected for eventual enrollment in
the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the various specialist and NCO
schools. Instruction is carried out under the direction of the
GIL and is imparted durixig specified periods, by officers of the
Fascist Militia, Reserve Officers, and NCOs.
Actual control of youths for military purposes begins at the
age of 11 when a Libretto personale is issued, in which is kept an
exact record of the individual's physical, political, and military
history. At the age of 18 his name is posted on a draft list
(lista di leva) and he is assigned for premilitary training to a unit
of the GIL. At the age of 21 he is examined by a draft board
(consiglio di lever) and placed. in an appropriate category, depend-

ing upon his physical condition and the results of his premnilitary
training. Except in particular gases, the normal period of service
in peace time was for 18 months, from April of the year following
that in which the twentieth birthday fell to October of the next
year. Postinilitary training was compulsory until the age of
32 and reserves were periodically recalled to the colors for refresher
courses, particularly in the cases of specialists and NCOs. At
present, nearly all able-bodied men between the ages of 20 and
30 are serving in the Armed Forces, with premilitary and post-
military service under direct control of the Anned Forces on a
war-basis within the organizations for territorial defense.
Noncommissioned officers of the rank of sergeant and above
(sottuficiali) are volunteer long-service professional soldiers.
Junior NCOs (gra luali di truppa) are promoted from among the
conscripts and perform the last part of their service as corporals,
with special pros isions for more rapid advancement of those who
have profited exceptionally from premilitary training.
There, are two principal categories of officers:
a. Regular Officers (/iciali in Servizio Permanente Efeltivo):
drawn from the Military Academies at Turin and Modena, with
additional training n service schools. Additional officers are
drawn from among Reserve Officers and exceptionally qualified
senior NCOs.
b. Reserve Officers (r(fficiali di Complement-): Youths who
attain it certain standard of education are compelled by law to
curry out their conscript service as Reserve Officers. They form
the main source for junior officers on'mobilization. After seven
months of intensive instruction at special service schools, the re-
mainder of their conscript service is performed with units of the
line. Reserve Officers are subject to a certain amount of com-
pulsory training in the field and are used as instructors in pre-
military and postmilitary training.

8. Replacement Training System.
The organization in the Italian Army for the production of new
units and for the supply of replacements is very similar to the
German Ersatz system. Every unit of the Field Army is rein-
forced as necessary from the depot of the unit in Italy: The rate
of forming reserve units depends on circumstances and is fairly
elastic. Normally, the unit of first line reserves is one degree
smaller than the field. unit which it serves; each infantry or
artillery regiment usually has a reserve battalion. When a
division is engaged in active operations, the process is speeded up
and second line formations equal to the field units are formed. In
such cases, the second-lino units are temporarily termed "bis"
(duplicate) units and may bear the same number as the first-line
unit. Certain types of units-Alpini, motorized infantry and
artillery, and tank units-continuously form reserve formations,
limited only by the need for special training and the ability to
equip them.
The numbering of replacement units or new formations does not
follow, a. rigid scheme. Normally, reserve units take numbers in
the series already existing for their type of unit within the larger
'formation to which they are attached. For instance, an infantry
replacement company might be numbered 13, when there are
already 12 first line companies in the regiment. In addition, it
might be attached to a battalion of the normal regiment and thus
be called the 13th Company, 4th Battalion of the parent regiment.
When four companies have been formed (13, 14, 15, 16), they may
become a reserve (complemento) battalion of the regiment and
take on the number of the regiment, while the companies them-
selves may be renumbered 1,-.2, 3, 4. Thus, the 13th Co., 4th
Bn, 27th Regt, may become as a reserve unit the 1st Co, 27th Bn,
serving the 27th Regt. Confusion may easily arise in the case
where the renumbered company does not associate itself with the
reserve battalion, but directly with the parent formation: the
3d Co, 27th Regt may be either a regular component of the 1st

12 ORDER OF BATTLE OF THE ITALIAN ARMY
Ian in the field or the reserve unit in the 27th Bu at the training
depot. In addition, other reserve battalions attached to the
same division may carry the divisional number.
The composition of reserve battalions often varies from the
nornnal organization. Thus the 27th Bra may include rifle, SIG,
and antitank companies, since it may be serving as a reserve
unit for the various types of units in the regiment. These
reserve units are intended as depots for personnel rather than for
weapons and have only a skeleton armament. It would therefore
be exceptional to find them in an operational role. However,
it may be assumed that reserve units which have been renum-
bered and formed into independent units, or which are being
grouped with othi+r units to form a new division, will be fully
equipped with weapons.
With minor variations, the same system of replacement units
applies to all combat units of corps and armies as well as to
divisions. Although usually adhered to, it is not rigidly followed
under exceptional circumstances. If a division in the field engaged
in combat has absorbed all replacement personnel from its own
depot., replacements will be sent from depots of other units. It
may likewise absorb independent and fully formed new units.
This leads to confusing identifications in the field through the
personnel of tbwse units continuing to wear the gorget patches
(raostriue) of their parent ferinat,ions.
Particular situations obtained in Russia and during the African
cainmpaiigns. In Russia the German system of march battalions
was adopted with certain modifications. A unit of infantry
replacements bore the number of the regiment to which it was
going and, when sufficiently large in numbers, it was organized
into a march regiment, bearing the number of the division. Thus,
the 3d lieggiinento di marcie, including the 37th Battaglione di
rnarcea, served as a replacement Unit for the 37th and 38thi In-
fantry Regiments of the 3d RAVENNA Division. In the same
way, the Alpine Divisions were served by march regiments

numbered 102, 103, 104, corresponding to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
Alpine Divisions, with the march battalions numbered the same
as the particular regiments they were feeding. In the case of
Bersaglieri regiments, the principle of numeration is not clear.
The only replacement unit identified was the 120th Reggimento
Bersaglieri di marcia, with three march battalions, and was
presumably destined to reinforce the 3d and 6th Bersaglieri
Regiments of the 3d Cavalry Division. In Africa, due to the
pressure of the situation, complete units were sent over which
were either incorporated in their entirety into already existing
regiments or were split up by companies among several existing
battalions. In general, the regular system of numbering was fol-
lowed, but there were several cases in which the march bat-
talions had no number. It should be kept in mind that march
battalions do not necessarily feed the regiment at whose depot
they were formed and whose number they bear.
In general, it may be said that reinforcements of other, arms are
also called reggimento di marcia, that they have numbers from
100 upwards, and that rarely can a connection be observed be-
tween the number of such a unit and the field unit for which it
may be destined, although the march unit may bear the number of
the unit at whose depot it was formed. There was one case of a
Divisione di marcia, the 8th, consisting of personnel of all arms
going as replacements to the Eighth .Army in Russia.

Section III. ORGANIZATION OF UNITS
9. Introduction
Organization of units in the Italian Army is remarkably fluid
and elastic. Tables of Organization are rarely followed in prac-
tice and are often frankly abandoned in favor of substitute
formations loosely called raf/gruj'pamenti, a term applied to
collections of homogeneous units as well as to combat teams or
task forces of a more self-contained nature with components of
the various arms and services.
10. Numbering of Units.
All Italian divisions except coastal divisions bear both a name..
and a number, either of which may be used alone in referring to
that unit. Infantry divisions of all types are numbered in a
continuous series, from 1 to 65, excluding 8, 34, 35, 39, 40, 43,,
45, and 46; 101 to 105; and 151 to 159. The SPEZIA Air-Borne
Division was numbered 80 and the parachute divisions, 184 and
185. Numbers 131 through 13.1 were allotted to armored divisions,
while 136 was also originally intended to be armored. Cavalry
divisions were numbered 1, 2, and 3; Alpine divisions 1 through
6; and coastal divisions in the 200 series through 226.
When no calls are being made for replacements on a division
depot and trained infantry and artillery personnel have been
formed into second-line regiments, a new division may be formed.
The two infantry regiments assume the name and numbers of the
regiments of one of the disbanded World War brigades. The,
artillery regiment is allotted a new number in the regular series
and this number is taken for the whole division. In this way,
reserves at the depots of the 43d and 44th Infantry Regiments
were expanded into two regiments (the 121st and 122d) and formed
the MACERATA Brigade. At the same time the reserves at

 Approved For Release 2004/04/15 : CIA-RDP83-00415RO12400260003-2
the 36th Artillery Regiment depot were formed into the 153d
Artillery Regiment. The combination of the new units with
appropriate divisional troops became the new 153d MACERATA
Division.
a. Infantry regiments, with the exception of Alpini and terri-
torial defense units, are numbered in one continuous series up to
94, after which the numbering becomes erratic. They are arranged
in pairs in divisions: the 1st and 2d RE Regiments'are in the
13th RE Division. However, many infantry regiments and all
cavalry regiments have names different from that of the division.
There are 66 regiments with numbers between 100 and 383, of
which 12 are the extra regiments of triangular divisions. Such
extra regiments are in the 300 series; they have a number whose
last two digits are the same as one of the original divisional
regiments. For example, the 29th PIEMONTE Division has
the 3d, 4th and 303d Infantry Regiments. Five nondivisional
regiments have been identified: the 100th, 101st, 102d, 202d, and
265th. Within the regiments, battalions are numbered from I to
3 and companies from I to 12, consecutively. Complement or
reserve battalions bear the same number as the regiment which
they supply. The three Sardinian Grenadier Regiments
(GRANATIERI DI SARDEGNA) are numbered from 1 to 3.
The two Savoyan Grenadier Regiments (GRANATIERI DI
SAVOIA), destroyed in Italian East Africa, were numbered 10
and 11.
b. Alpini regiments, although numbered in sequence from 1 to
11, are not grouped in sequence when forming part of a division.
There is no 10th Regiment, this number being reserved for' air
Association of former Alpini officers and men. Alpini battalions
have names but no numbers. The complement or reserve bat-
talions of the regiments have names which usually start with the
prefix VAL or MONTE. Alpini companies are numbered con-
secutively in one series throughout the ten regiments. Those in
normal battalions are numbered up to 79; in MONTE battalions

between 80 and 200; in FAL battalions from 200 upwards. They
are frequently, but not invariably, numbered in sequence within
a battalion. For example, the IV'REA Alpine Battalion has
companies 38, 39, and 40; the VAL CA.l1ONICA has 250, 251,
and 252; but INTRA has 7, 24, and 27, while MONTE
ROSA has 112, 134, and 13.5.
e. J1ersagl;,eri are normally picked troops of high quality. There
were originally k0eve infantry regiments, numbered from 1 to 12,
and an armored car regiment, the 18th. Two regiments, the 30th
and the 120th, were actually replacement units. Battalions have
distinctive numbers, which hear no relation to the regiment to
which they belong, but companies are ntutnbered consecutively
throughout the regiment.
d. Artillery regimtitts usually bear the same number as the
formation to which they were originally allotted, but there are
many exceptions. The original five army artillery regiments,
numbered from I to 5, were not assigned to armies of -the same
number. In fact, army artillery rag;ruppamenti were, formed
from them to reinforce armies in active operations, but even in
these cases the numbers of the two units did not correspond, since
the number of the raggrupparnento was allotted in keeping with
their particular numbering progression. In (lie case of corps
artillery regiments, new formations were made by adding a zero
to the number of the parent re;irnertt. The latter is usually the
same as that of the corps. Tht, battalions of the army and corps
artillery regiments are distinctively numbered, but in an elastic
and variable manner, occasionally showing it semblance of system
as in the 5th Corps Artillery Regiment with the 12th, 20th, 112th,
and 120th Battalions. The highest known number of regular
divisional artillery is 205. Although the battalions and batteries
usually follow a regular progressive system. of naunbering within
the higher unit, battalions numbered as high as 75 and batteries
as high as 150 have been found.
Other artillery unit-, are numbered in separate series. Alpine

and mobile artillery regiments are numbered consecutively.
Autonomous battalions attached to corps have numbers between
200 and 300. Self-propelled armored artillery battalions are in
the 550 and 560 series. Some heavy self-propelled antitank
battalions have been identified in the 160 series. Organic antitank
battalions are usually numbered the same as the division but are
often attached to other divisions. Antitank companies, both
organic and autonomous, are consecutively numbered, the highest
found being 355.
e. Cavalry regiments bear names and numbers, the latter in a
regular sequence. There are two independent groups, the
CAVALLEGGERI DI SICILIA and the CAVALLEGGERI DI
SARDEGNA, and three light tank groups, named SAN GIUSTO,
SAN MARCO, and SAN MARTINO. The battalions of
cavalry regiments are numbered in two continuous series through-
out all the regiments. The 1 to 20 series was originally intended
for mounted battalions, and the 51 to 60 for dismounted battalions.
With few exceptions, cavalry battalions are now all dismounted
and are either autonomous or attached to other formations.
J. Armored divisions are. numbered in the 130 series. The tank
regiments of these divisions bear the same number as the division,
with a complement regiment at the regimental depot bearing a
number 100 lower. For instance, the 132d ARIETE Division
had as first-line the 132d Tank Regiment and at its depot the 32d.
In the case of the 131st CENTAURO, the 1.31st Tank Regiment
was detached to Sicily in command of the tank battalions on the.
island,. while the 31st Tank Regiment went with the division
.The 1st, 3d, and 4th Tank Regiments are simply training and
administrative depots. Medium battalions were numbered in
a continuous series from 8 to 20. The four R35 battalions were
numbered 1, 2, 101, and 102. Light battalions are numbered in
sequence within each regiment from 1 upwards. Companies are
numbered in sequence within each battalion.
g. Engineer units follow no regular system. Army engineer

regiments usually form raggrirppamenti, whose numbers do not
usually coincide with those of the armies. Corps engineer regi-
ments invariably bear the same number as the corps to which they
belong, but the numbering of their battalions is variable. ?Mixed
engineer battalions attached to divisions usually bear the division
number or it number related to it. Their components, particu-
larly the pioneer company, often have the divisional number.
Signal companies assume independent numbering in series up
to and over 100.
h. The two parachute ditisiuns were the 184th NE fBO, with
the 184th and 185th Regiments, and the 185th FOLGORE,
with the 186th and 187th Regiments.
i. Coastal divisions have only numbers, all in the 200 series,
the highest identified being the 2216th. Coastal regiments are
numbered between 1 and 178, and battalions as high as 581, with
no correspondence between the two series. Coast artillery bat-
talions have been found numbered as high as 600, but the greatest
percentage fall between 125 and 225.
j. Smaller organic units, including mortar and machine gun
battalions, usually bear the same number as the division to which
they were originally assigned. However, due to the fluid condi-
tion of Italian organization and the frequent reinforcement of
higher formations by attachment of units, it is hardly ever pos-
sible to locate the position of a division in an area by the identi-
fication of only one of its components. Particular care must be
exercised against locating the actual position of a division by the
identification of its reserve units.
11. Army Group ;("rap-pa d'Alrtnttte) and Army (Armata).
In peace, army groups and armies, with the exception of the
Army of the Po, are represented only by the headquarters of the
Army Generals designated to command them in war. In war,
the composition of an army group and of an army varies, though
the number of corps in an army does not normally exceed four.
