The 184th TLC Support Battalion "Cansiglio" (Italian: 184° Battaglione Sostegno TLC "Cansiglio") is a telecommunications (TLC) support battalion of the Italian Army's signal corps. The battalion is based in Treviso in Veneto and assigned to the Army Logistic Command. The unit was formed in 1947 as a battalion and assigned to the Infantry Division "Folgore". In 1976 the battalion was named for the Cansiglio Pass and received the number 184th, which had been used by the 184th Connections Company that served with the 184th Infantry Division "Nembo" and the Combat Group "Folgore" during the Italian campaign of World War II. With the name and number the battalion also received its own flag. In 1993 the battalion was disbanded and its personnel used to form the Signals Materiel Repair, Supply and Experimentation Telematic Center. In 1999 the center was renamed 184th TLC Support Regiment, which received the flag and traditions of the battalion. In 2017 the regiment was disbanded and the battalion became an autonomous unit. Since 1999 the battalion is responsible to build the army's telecommunications network in northern Italy and Tuscany, and provide third line maintenance for the network in the aforementioned regions.[3][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]
