The Alpini Brigade Tridentina was a light Infantry brigade of the Italian Army, specializing in mountain warfare. Its core units were the Alpini, the mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army, that distinguished itself in combat during World War I and World War II. The ''Tridentina'' Alpine Brigade carried on the colours and traditions of the WWII era 2nd Alpine Division ''Tridentina''. The brigade was based in the eastern half of the Italian province of South Tyrol. The headquarters was in the city of Brixen. The brigade was disbanded in 2002, however the name and traditions were carried on by the newly raised ''Tridentina'' Division, a deployable military headquarters of the Italian Army, which in 2013 became again a full division. == Constitution == The ''Tridentina'' was constituted on 1 May 1951 in the city of Brixen. The brigade’s name ''Tridentina'' was taken from the name ''Venezia Tridentina'', which was the name invented by the linguist Graziadio Isaia Ascoli for the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and was officially in use for the area between 1919 and 1948. The brigade was based in the region and drew the majority of its recruits from it. The brigade was tasked with defending the Puster Valley, ensuring that invading Warsaw Pact troops would be unable to cut the vital supply line over the Brenner Pass. To aid in the defense of the valley part of the pre-WWII fortifications of the Alpine Wall were reactivated and upgraded. The brigade’s strength was around 4200 men and initially it was composed of the:〔(Esercito Italiano: Il Comando Divisione "Tridentina" )〕 * 20px 6th Alpini Regiment with the battalions * * 15px Headquarter Platoon * * 15px ''Bolzano'' * * 15px ''Trento'' * * 15px ''Bassano'' * * 15px ''Edolo'' (ceded to the reformed 5th Alpini Regiment of the newly formed Alpine Brigade Orobica on 1 January 1953) * * 15px 6th Mortar Company * 20px 2nd Mountain Artillery Regiment with the groups * * ''Bergamo'' (renamed ''Vicenza'' in 1952) * * ''Verona'' * * ''Asiago'' * 20px ''Tridentina'' Logistic Battalion (from 1956 onwards) * 15px ''Tridentina'' Engineer Company * 15px ''Tridentina'' Signal Company * 15px Alpini Parachutist Platoon The ''Tridentina'' brigade was the first Alpini brigade to receive an Alpini Parachutist Platoon. The platoon activated on 1 September 1952 in Brixen and on 1 April 1964 it merged with the other four Alpini Brigades Parachutist Platoons to form an Alpini Parachutist Company under direct command of the 4th Alpine Army Corps. In 1953 the 21st Frontier Defense Regiment was attached to the brigade. It consisted of the battalions: * XXIII° Battalion (renamed 15px ''Val Brenta'' Alpini Battalion on 1 July 1963) in Innichen * XXIV° Battalion (renamed 15px ''Val d'Adige'' Alpini Battalion on 1 July 1963) in Toblach * XXV° Battalion (renamed 15px ''Val Leogra'' Alpini Battalion on 1 July 1963) in Bruneck The 21st Frontier Defense Regiment was dissolved on 30 June 1964 with the exception of the ''Val Brenta'' Alpini Battalion, which absorbed the companies of the ''Val Leogra'' Alpini Battalion. The companies of the ''Val d'Adige'' Alpini Battalion were transferred to the ''Val Cismon'' Alpini Battalion of the Alpine Brigade Cadore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alpine Brigade Tridentina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
