From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On March 1, 1984 the Italian Institute for Disarmament, Development and Peace (Istituto di ricerche per il disarmo, lo sviluppo e la pace (IRDISP) in
Rome (a think tank of the
Radical Party ) published the entire
Italian Army order of battle (OrBat) down to company level – this was justified by the radical party as one of its core demands was total disarmament of Europe, even though the data which was published was top secret. The Radical Party dissolved in 1989 (its parliamentarians had passed along the data) and the IRDISP followed suit in 1990. But
Radio Radicale has survived, and the OrBat can still be found today on the homepage of the radio.
OrBat published by Istituto di ricerche per il disarmo, lo sviluppo e la pace (IRDISP) in Rome on March 1, 1984.

Carabinieri
Until 2000 the
Carabinieri were an "Arma" (
corps ) of the
Italian Army tasked with police duties in every Italian city and village. The Carabinieri's higher units in 1984 were:
Carabinieri Corps General Command , in Rome
Divisions commanded brigades, which were each responsible for policing a number of
Italian regions . The brigades were further divided into Legions (Regiments), which were each responsible for policing a small region or part of a larger region. Legiones were further divided into Groups (Battalions), which were responsible for policing a
province . The groups were further divided into stations, one of which could be found in every Italian city or comune.
The Carabinieri also provided military police units for the
Italian Army ,
Italian Navy , and
Italian Air Force . The units under direct command of the Carabinieri Corps General Command were:
