10 Alpini Regiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 10th Alpini Regiment is the colloquial name of the ANA (Associazione Nazionale Alpini or National Alpini Association). The ANA is a registered society representing the "Alpini in congedo" (Alpini on leave) of the Italian Army. The Alpini are a mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army, that distinguished itself in combat during World War I and World War II. As the ANA defines itself a quick reaction reserve corps to the active Alpini units it has been nicknamed 10th Alpini Regiment. Accordingly the Italian Army never had a 10th Alpini Regiment.
