Patrols, checkpoints, convoy escorts and observation posts, distribution of humanitarian aid and negotiations with villagers, but also research and neutralization of improvised explosive devices, defense against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear risks, against threat of mini and micro drones, first aid interventions and removal of the wounded: these are some of the activities that the soldiers of the “Sassari” brigade simulated during a continuous exercise with opposing parties, which took place in recent days in Sardinia.
The exercise, during which the advanced simulation systems of the tactical training center of 1st level of Cape Teulada, had the aim of training the “dimonios” in the acquisition of tactical automatisms for the management of situations in which it is necessary to intervene with standard response measures commensurate with the level of threat and respectful of the rules of engagement .
The training activity was conducted by units of the 151st “Sassari” infantry regiment, of the 5th Sappers Regiment, of the “Sassari” logistics regiment, of the 45th “Reggio” tactical support command department, of the “Cavalleggeri guides” regiment ( 19°), of the 1st Bersaglieri Regiment and by assets of the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment in the role of the opposition forces.
The “Sassari” brigade, under the orders of Brigadier General Stefano Messina, will be used in the coming months as part of an international mission.
