Structure of the Italian Army in 1984

On March 1, 1984 the Italian Institute for Disarmament, Development and Peace (Istituto di ricerche per il disarmo, lo sviluppo e la pace (IRDISP) in Rome (a think thank of the Radical Party) published the entire Italian Army order of battle (OrBat) down to company level - this was justified for the radical party as one of its core demands was total disarmament of Europe, even though the data which was published was top secret. The Radical Party dissolved in 1989 (its parliamentarians had passed along the data) and the IRDISP followed suit in 1990. But Radio Radicale has survived, and the OrBat can still be found today on the homepage of the radio.

OrBat published by Istituto di ricerche per il disarmo, lo sviluppo e la pace (IRDISP) in Rome on March 1, 1984.[1]

Carabinieri

Until 2000 the Carabinieri were an "Arma" (corps) of the Italian Army tasked with police duties in every Italian city and village. The Carabinieri's higher units in 1984 were:

  • 1st Division, in Milan, responsible for Northern Italy
  • 2nd Division, in Rome, responsible for Central Italy
  • 3rd Division, in Naples, responsible for Southern Italy

Divisions commanded brigades, which were each responsible for policing a number of Italian regions. The brigades were further divided into Legions (Regiments), which were each responsible for policing a small region or part of a larger region. Legiones were further divided into Groups (Battalions), which were responsible for policing a province. The groups were further divided into stations, one of which could be found in every Italian city or comune.
