Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the disbanded Italian Army Logistic Battalion "Julia". For the unrelated currently active unit, see Logistic Regiment "Julia".
The Logistic Battalion "Julia" (Italian: Battaglione Logistico "Julia") is an inactive logistics unit of the Italian Army, which was assigned to the Alpine Brigade "Julia". As an alpine unit the battalion is associated with the army's mountain infantry speciality, the Alpini, with whom the battalion shares the distinctive Cappello Alpino.[3] 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.[5]
