SOLBIATE OLONA (VA) 10 DECEMBER 2002. Last December our Corps achieved the Full Operational Capability after an intense training year.
NRDC-IT held this exercise in training areas close to CIVITAVECCHIA, 80 km north of Rome. The activity, which involved all the Command Posts (MAIN, RAS and RSC) unfolded in two phases.
A Command post exercise, where HQ NRDC-IT operated as a Land Component Commander in a conventional war fighting scenario. It was HQ’s first deployment on the field.
HQ’s Staff held exercise Spear Head 02 during the period 16-25 April 2002 at the Warrior Preparation Center in Ramstein (Germany).
The aim of this exercise, which was the first for the newly established Headquarters, was to test the capability of the HQ's Staff to apply SOPs and SOIs’ procedures in order to achieve the goals for future training activities.
