THE NEXT ROUND IN AFGHANISTAN AND 'OF THE FRIULI

In the second half of April, the military drive west of Afghanistan, the region of Herat, will move to Aircraft Brigade Friuli. To this date will arrive on the ground a hundred men of the Command, based in Bologna, the 66th Regiment and 350 aircraft Trieste Forlì. In the same area there are the special forces of the Italian Task Force 45, and September, the five Mangusta helicopters of Friuli framed, with three large Chinook transport, the Task Force Phoenix. The strengthening of the West is the solution that Italy has in mind to support the top of the NATO to be held in Bucharest April 2 to 4. The problem is not to increase the number of men in uniform posted in Afghanistan. In this design would be fully functional including the reduction from 1250 to 500 soldiers scheduled for the end of the summer for the Regional Command Capital, ie the Kabul region, will expire when the turn of Italian driving, now entrusted to the Alpine Brigade Taurinense. At that Italy could also give up the rotation of the command with France and Turkey, keeping in the area of \u200b\u200bthe capital one Alpine Battalion.
