7th Signal Regiment (Italy)
Military unit
The 7th Signal Regiment (Italian: 7° Reggimento Trasmissioni) is a deployable signals regiment of the Italian Army based in Sacile in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. In 1918 during World War I the regiment was formed as 7th Engineer Regiment (Telegraphers) with 59 companies transferred from the 3rd Engineer Regiment (Telegraphers). In 1920 the regiment was disbanded and its companies formed into battalions, which were assigned the army's army corps commands.[3][4]
The unit was reformed in 1948 as a battalion and given the number V, which had been used by two battalions active during World War II. During the Cold War the battalion was assigned to the V Army Corps. In 1975 the battalion was named for the Rolle Pass and assigned the flag and traditions of the 7th Engineer Regiment (Telegraphers). In 1991 the battalion was redesignated as regiment. In 2002 the regiment reformed the Battalion "Predil" as its second signal battalion. The regiment is assigned to the army's Signal Command and affiliated with the Division "Vittorio Veneto".[1][4] The regimental anniversary falls, as for all signal units, on June 20, the height of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918.[5]
