dubats
Dubats (English: ''White turbans'') was the designation given to armed irregular bands employed by the Italian "Royal Corps of Colonial Troops" (''Regio Corpo di Truppe Coloniali'' in Italian) in Italian Somaliland from 1924 to 1941. The word ''dubats'' was derived from a Somali phrase meaning "white turbans".
==Origin and duties==
Dubats were local soldiers from Italian Somaliland that were employed in Italian military service.〔Stephanie Hom Cary, ''Destination Italy: Tourism, colonialism, and the modern Italian nation-state, 1861--1947'', (ProQuest: 2007), p.264.〕 First raised in July 1924 by Colonel Camillo Bechis, they mainly served as light infantry and developed a reputation as effective fighters.〔Philip S. Jowett, Stephen Andrew, ''The Italian Army 1940-45: Africa 1940-43'', Volume 2, (Osprey Publishing: 2001), p.7.〕 Dubats were maintained as permanent units and were better trained and armed than the tribal banda, employed as auxiliaries when needed by the Italian authorities in Somalia and other colonies.
Dubats were concentrated along the British Somaliland, Ethiopia and East Africa Protectorate frontiers.
Camel mounted detachments (''recul'') were also employed for patrol work in the Ogaden region.
