The
185th Paratroopers Reconnaissance Target Acquisition Regiment "Folgore"
(Italian: 185° Reggimento Paracadutisti Ricognizione e Acquisizione Obiettivi "Folgore", sometimes abbreviated as: 185° RAO) is an Italian special forces unit. The paratroopers of the 185th Regiment are the result of a selection lasting about two years, through which aspiring operators learn the techniques to conduct missions in every operational theatre. On 3 April 2000, the 185th Artillery Regiment "Folgore" took the name of 185th Terrestrial Artillery Regiment (Target Acquisition Paratroopers) "Folgore". The Regiment gave up the artillery and began to train its own personnel as Target Acquirer, with only the 30% being able to pass the course. The first Objective Acquisition Detachments were established, with the transformation of the 1st Battery, then followed by the other two which, in turn, carried out the specialization courses and received a different environmental characterization. The 1st Battery "Draghi" took on a particular predisposition to operate in the arctic and alpine area, the 2nd Battery "Aquile" in a desert environment and the 3rd Battery "Diavoli" in the continental terrain. In 2002, the 185th Artillery Regiment "Folgore" was included within the Special Operations Forces of the Army and was assigned to Mostar, Bosnia, directly under the Multinational Division South East "Salamanders". Other Detachments were deployed in Kosovo and in Macedonia. In 2003, the Regiment gained, from the 9th Paratroopers Assault Regiment, a LRRP company, which became the fourth Battery (company-level unit in Artillery units). The 185th Target Acquisition Artillery Regiment "Folgore" was established in 2004 within the Folgore Brigade, inheriting the War Flag and traditions of the 185th Artillery Regiment "Folgore"; the Regiment, in turn, assumed the motto (Videre nec videri) and the coat of arms (bat with parachute and sword) of the paratroopers of the Target Acquisition Battery of the dissolved 13th Target acquisition Group "Aquileia" (13° GR.AC.O.) of the 3rd Missile Brigade "Aquileia", also disestablished. In 2013, the 185th Parachute Regiment "Folgore" was reestablished and, on 21 June 2013, it took up the flag previously handed over to the 185th Regiment RAO. The 185th RRAO, in turn, was assigned the War Flag that once belonged to the 185th Parachute Infantry Regiment, leaving Artillery for Infantry.
The International Security Assistance Force (
ISAF
) was a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, established by the United Nations Security Council in December 2001 by Resolution 1386, as envisaged by the Bonn Agreement. Its main purpose was to train the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and assist Afghanistan in rebuilding key government institutions, but was also engaged in the 2001–present warwith the Taliban insurgency. ISAF was initially charged with securing Kabul and the surrounding areas from the Taliban, al Qaeda and factional warlords, to allow for the establishment of the Afghan Transitional Administration headed by Hamid Karzai.In October 2003, the UN Security Council authorized the expansion of the ISAF mission throughout Afghanistan, and ISAF subsequently expanded the mission in four main stages over the whole of the country.[6] From 2006 to 2011, ISAF had become increasingly involved in more intensive combat operations in southern and eastern Afghanistan. Troop contributors included the United States, United Kingdom, other NATO member states and a number of other countries. The intensity of the combat faced by contributing nations varied greatly, with the United States sustaining the most total casualties, but with other contributors, especially the United Kingdom, Canada, and Denmark, sustaining more casualties relative to their population size. In early 2010, there were at least 700 military bases inside Afghanistan. About 400 of these were used by American‑led NATO forces and 300 by ANSF. ISAF ceased combat operations and was disbanded in December 2014, with some troops remaining behind in an advisory role as part of ISAF's successor organization, the Resolute Support Mission.
The 9th Assault Parachute Regiment, also known as “Col Moschin,” is the most elite regiment of the Italian Army. The men comprising that unit receive the most complex and difficult training of any in the army. Recently, with the establishment of COMFOSE, the Italian Army general staff tried to transfer some of Col Moschin’s capabilities to other special units. Despite this, the 9th remains unique; to this day, its operators remain the best trained, and what they do has no equal in other regiments. To become a Col Moschin Raiders (Incursore), it takes many years of drill, combined with an iron will and a trained body. The Special Forces Training Department (Reparto Addestramento Forze Speciali – RAFoS) is the starting point for all those who want to enter the 9th. Candidates must have at least three years of experience in the army and nearly all of have an operational mission under their belt. After three weeks of training, where the drill instructors test the potential of the recruits, the future operator enters the Special Operator’s Basic Course (OBOS – Operatore Basico Operazioni Speciali).
The NATO Response Force (NRF) is a highly ready and technologically advanced multinational force made up of land, air, maritime and Special Operations Forces (SOF) components that the Alliance can deploy quickly, wherever needed. In addition to its operational role, the NRF can be used for greater cooperation in education and training, increased exercises and better use of technology.
The NATO Response Force has:
a command and control element: Operational command of the NRF currently alternates among NATO’s Joint Force Commands in Brunssum, the Netherlands and Naples, Italy.
the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF): This new NRF component is a multinational land brigade of around 5,000 troops with appropriate air, maritime and Special Operations Forces (SOF) units available . Some elements will be ready to move within two to three days. France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom and Turkey will assume lead roles for the VJTF on a rotational basis in the coming years.
the Initial Follow-On Forces Group (IFFG): These forces are high-readiness forces that can deploy quickly following the VJTF, in response to a crisis. They are made up of two multinational brigades;
a maritime component : it is based on the Standing NATO Maritime Group (SNMG) and the Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group (SNMCMG);
a combat air and air-support component; Special Operations Forces; and
a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defence task force.
