The Joint Forces Maneuver Regiment (Italian: Reggimento di Manovra Interforze) is a military logistics regiment of the Italian Armed Forces based in Rome. The regiment is operationally assigned to the Defense General Staff and provides the necessary transport for the staff and the Italian Ministry of Defense to operate.[1] The regimental anniversary falls, as for all units of the Transport and Materiel Corps, on 22 May, the anniversary of the Italian Army's first major automobile use to transport reinforcements to counter the Austro-Hungarian Offensive at Asiago in 1916.[2]

History

In 1946 the Auto Unit of the War Ministry was formed by expanding the existing Administrative Transport Company. On 1 January 1948 the unit was expanded to Auto Group of the Defense Ministry-Army, which consisted of a command, a car auto unit, a mixed auto unit, and the 13th Light Workshop. On 1 May 1958 the group was renamed X Auto Group. In 1966 the group was expanded to four auto units.[3]

As part of the 1975 army reform the X Auto Group was renamed 10th Maneuver Auto Group on 1 August 1976. On 1 October 1976 the group was renamed 10th Joint Forces Maneuver Auto Group "Salaria". Like all Italian Army transport units the group was named for a historic road near its base: in the 10th group's case for the Roman road Via Salaria.[3]

On 12 November 1976 the group was granted a flag by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.[3][4]

on 1 January 2004 the group was renamed 10th Transport Battalion "Salaria" and entered the newly formed Joint Forces Maneuver Regiment, which became a joint unit of the Italian Armed Forces, even though the regiment's personnel continues to be drawn from the army's Transport and Material Arm.[3]
