The 4th Alpine Parachute Regiment (“Ranger”) is the Special Forces department of the Army composed of specifically selected and trained personnel, particularly trained and equipped to conduct the entire spectrum of typical “Special Operations” tasks. The 4th regiment, unique in its kind for having combined the typical capabilities of the mountain specialty (alpine) and air troops (paratroopers), is the only unit of Special Forces of the Army specifically designated and qualified to conduct operations in mountain and arctic environments.
The operational component of the regiment consists of Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Graduates and Volunteers in permanent service or in fixed station, trained and selected through a training process lasting about two years, which culminates in the attribution of the qualification of “Ranger”.
The regiment operates under the Army Special Forces Command (COMFOSE) and is stationed in VERONA.
