==The four branches of Italian Armed Forces==
===Esercito Italiano===
{{Main article|Italian Army}}
The ground force of Italy, the ''[[Regio Esercito]]'' dates back to the unification of Italy in the 1850s and 1860s. It fought in colonial engagements in China during the [[Boxer Rebellion]], against the [[Ottoman Empire]] in [[Italo-Turkish War|Libya (1911–1912)]], on the [[Alps]] against the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] during [[World War I]], in [[Ethiopia|Abyssinia]] during the [[Interwar period]], and in [[World War II]] in [[Albania]], [[Greece]], [[North Africa]] and [[Russia]], as well as in the [[Italian Civil War]]. During the [[Cold War]] the Army prepared itself to defend against a [[Warsaw Pact]] invasion from the east. Since the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], it has seen extensive peacekeeping service in [[Lebanon]], [[Afghanistan]], and [[Iraq]]. On 29 July 2004 it became a professional all-volunteer force when [[conscription]] was finally ended.
===Marina Militare===
{{Main article|Italian Navy}}
The navy of Italy was created in 1861, following the [[proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy]], as the {{Lang|it|[[Regia Marina]]}}. The new navy's baptism of fire came during the [[Third Italian War of Independence]] against the [[Austrian Empire]]. During the [[First World War]], it spent its major efforts in the [[Adriatic Sea]], fighting the [[Austro-Hungarian Navy]]. In the [[Second World War]], it engaged the [[Royal Navy]] in a two-and-a-half-year struggle for the control of the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. After the war, the new ''Marina Militare'', being a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), has taken part in many coalition peacekeeping operations. It is a [[blue-water navy]]. The ''[[Guardia Costiera]]'' (Coast Guard) is a component of the navy.
===Aeronautica Militare===
{{Main article|Italian Air Force}}
[[File:Ejercicio Dissimilar Air Combat Training - DACT 2017 - Base Aérea de Gando (32765109225).jpg|thumb|[[Eurofighter Typhoon]]s of the [[Italian Air Force]]]]
The [[air force]] of Italy was founded as an independent service arm on 28 March 1923, by [[Victor Emmanuel III of Italy|King Vittorio Emanuele III]] as the ''[[Regia Aeronautica]]'' (which equates to "Royal Air Force"). During the 1930s, it was involved in its first military operations in Ethiopia in 1935, and later in the [[Spanish Civil War]] between 1936 and 1939. Eventually, Italy entered [[World War II]] alongside Germany. After the armistice of 8 September 1943, Italy was divided into two sides, and the same fate befell the ''Regia Aeronautica''. The Air Force was split into the ''[[Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force]]'' in the south aligned with the Allies, and the pro-Axis ''[[Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana]]'' in the north until the end of the war. When Italy was made a republic by referendum, the air force was given its current name ''Aeronautica Militare''.
===Carabinieri===
{{Main article|Carabinieri}}
The ''[[Arma dei Carabinieri]]'' is the [[gendarmerie]] and [[military police]] of Italy. The corps was instituted in 1814 by King Victor Emmanuel I of Savoy with the aim of providing the [[Kingdom of Sardinia (1720–1861)|Kingdom of Sardinia]] with a police corps; it is therefore older than Italy itself. The new force was divided into divisions on the scale of one division for each [[province of Italy]]. The divisions were further divided into companies and subdivided into lieutenancies, which commanded and coordinated the local [[police station]]s and were distributed throughout the national territory in direct contact with the public. The [[Italian unification]] saw the number of divisions increased, and in 1861 the ''Carabinieri'' were appointed the "First Force" of the new national military organization. In recent years ''Carabinieri'' became the fourth [[Military branch|branch]] of Italian Armed Forces. Primarily they carry out [[law enforcement]], [[military police|military policing]] duties and peacekeeping mission abroad, such as [[Kosovo]], [[Afghanistan]], and [[Iraq]]. At the [[Sea Island, Georgia|Sea Islands Conference]] of the [[G8]] in 2004, the Carabinieri were given the mandate to establish a [[Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units]] ([[CoESPU]]) to spearhead the development of training and doctrinal standards for civilian police units attached to international peacekeeping missions.<ref>[http://coespu.carabinieri.it/NR/rdonlyres/4F54A33F-675A-4F65-9A59-069F73B1F71E/2085/G8_Action_Plan_EN.pdf G-8 Action Plan: Expanding global capability for peace support operations] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101009150602/http://coespu.carabinieri.it/NR/rdonlyres/4F54A33F-675A-4F65-9A59-069F73B1F71E/2085/G8_Action_Plan_EN.pdf |date=2010-10-09 }}. [[Carabinieri]], June 2004.</ref>
==International stance==
[[File:Sassari Brigade on patrol, Afghanistan.jpg|thumb|Italian soldiers of the [[Mechanized Brigade "Sassari"]] in Afghanistan in 2012]]
Italy has joined in many [[United Nations|UN]], [[NATO]] and [[EU]] operations as well as with assistance to [[Russia]] and the other [[Commonwealth of Independent States|CIS]] nations, [[Middle East]] peace process, [[peacekeeping]], and combating the [[illegal drug trade]], [[human trafficking]], piracy and terrorism.
Italy did take part in the 1982 [[Multinational Force in Lebanon]] along with US, French and British troops. Italy also participated in the 1990–91 [[Gulf War]], with the deployment of eight Panavia Tornado IDS bomber jets; Italian Army troops were subsequently deployed to assist [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] refugees in northern [[Iraq]] following the conflict.
As part of [[Operation Enduring Freedom]], Italy contributed to the international operation in [[Afghanistan]]. Italian forces have contributed to [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]], the NATO force in [[Afghanistan]], and to the [[Provincial reconstruction team]]. Italy has sent 3,800 troops, including one infantry company from the [[2 Alpini Regiment|2nd Alpini Regiment]] tasked to protect the ISAF HQ, one engineer company, one NBC platoon, one logistic unit, as well as liaison and staff elements integrated into the operation [[command hierarchy|chain of command]]. Italian forces also command a multinational engineer task force and have deployed a platoon of Carabinieri [[military police]].
The Italian Army did not take part in combat operations of the 2003 [[Iraq War]], dispatching troops only when major combat operations were declared over by the [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[George W. Bush]]. Subsequently, Italian troops arrived in the late summer of 2003, and began patrolling [[Nasiriyah]] and the surrounding area. Italian participation in the military operations in Iraq was concluded by the end of 2006, with full withdrawal of Italian military personnel except for a small group of about 30 soldiers engaged in providing security for the Italian embassy in [[Baghdad]]. Italy played a major role in the 2004–2011 [[NATO Training Mission – Iraq|NATO Training Mission]] to assist in the development of Iraqi security forces training structures and institutions.

Since the second [[post-war]] the Italian armed force has become more and more engaged in international peace support operations, mainly under the auspices of the United Nations. The Italian armed forces are currently participating in 26 missions.<ref name="Budget2014"/>

==The four branches of Italian Armed Forces==
===Esercito Italiano===
{{Main article|Italian Army}}
The ground force of Italy, the ''[[Regio Esercito]]'' dates back to the unification of Italy in the 1850s and 1860s. It fought in colonial engagements in China during the [[Boxer Rebellion]], against the [[Ottoman Empire]] in [[Italo-Turkish War|Libya (1911–1912)]], on the [[Alps]] against the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] during [[World War I]], in [[Ethiopia|Abyssinia]] during the [[Interwar period]], and in [[World War II]] in [[Albania]], [[Greece]], [[North Africa]] and [[Russia]], as well as in the [[Italian Civil War]]. During the [[Cold War]] the Army prepared itself to defend against a [[Warsaw Pact]] invasion from the east. Since the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], it has seen extensive peacekeeping service in [[Lebanon]], [[Afghanistan]], and [[Iraq]]. On 29 July 2004 it became a professional all-volunteer force when [[conscription]] was finally ended.
===Marina Militare===
{{Main article|Italian Navy}}
The navy of Italy was created in 1861, following the [[proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy]], as the {{Lang|it|[[Regia Marina]]}}. The new navy's baptism of fire came during the [[Third Italian War of Independence]] against the [[Austrian Empire]]. During the [[First World War]], it spent its major efforts in the [[Adriatic Sea]], fighting the [[Austro-Hungarian Navy]]. In the [[Second World War]], it engaged the [[Royal Navy]] in a two-and-a-half-year struggle for the control of the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. After the war, the new ''Marina Militare'', being a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), has taken part in many coalition peacekeeping operations. It is a [[blue-water navy]]. The ''[[Guardia Costiera]]'' (Coast Guard) is a component of the navy.
===Aeronautica Militare===
{{Main article|Italian Air Force}}
[[File:Ejercicio Dissimilar Air Combat Training - DACT 2017 - Base Aérea de Gando (32765109225).jpg|thumb|[[Eurofighter Typhoon]]s of the [[Italian Air Force]]]]
The [[air force]] of Italy was founded as an independent service arm on 28 March 1923, by [[Victor Emmanuel III of Italy|King Vittorio Emanuele III]] as the ''[[Regia Aeronautica]]'' (which equates to "Royal Air Force"). During the 1930s, it was involved in its first military operations in Ethiopia in 1935, and later in the [[Spanish Civil War]] between 1936 and 1939. Eventually, Italy entered [[World War II]] alongside Germany. After the armistice of 8 September 1943, Italy was divided into two sides, and the same fate befell the ''Regia Aeronautica''. The Air Force was split into the ''[[Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force]]'' in the south aligned with the Allies, and the pro-Axis ''[[Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana]]'' in the north until the end of the war. When Italy was made a republic by referendum, the air force was given its current name ''Aeronautica Militare''.
===Carabinieri===
{{Main article|Carabinieri}}
The ''[[Arma dei Carabinieri]]'' is the [[gendarmerie]] and [[military police]] of Italy. The corps was instituted in 1814 by King Victor Emmanuel I of Savoy with the aim of providing the [[Kingdom of Sardinia (1720–1861)|Kingdom of Sardinia]] with a police corps; it is therefore older than Italy itself. The new force was divided into divisions on the scale of one division for each [[province of Italy]]. The divisions were further divided into companies and subdivided into lieutenancies, which commanded and coordinated the local [[police station]]s and were distributed throughout the national territory in direct contact with the public. The [[Italian unification]] saw the number of divisions increased, and in 1861 the ''Carabinieri'' were appointed the "First Force" of the new national military organization. In recent years ''Carabinieri'' became the fourth [[Military branch|branch]] of Italian Armed Forces. Primarily they carry out [[law enforcement]], [[military police|military policing]] duties and peacekeeping mission abroad, such as [[Kosovo]], [[Afghanistan]], and [[Iraq]]. At the [[Sea Island, Georgia|Sea Islands Conference]] of the [[G8]] in 2004, the Carabinieri were given the mandate to establish a [[Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units]] ([[CoESPU]]) to spearhead the development of training and doctrinal standards for civilian police units attached to international peacekeeping missions.<ref>[http://coespu.carabinieri.it/NR/rdonlyres/4F54A33F-675A-4F65-9A59-069F73B1F71E/2085/G8_Action_Plan_EN.pdf G-8 Action Plan: Expanding global capability for peace support operations] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101009150602/http://coespu.carabinieri.it/NR/rdonlyres/4F54A33F-675A-4F65-9A59-069F73B1F71E/2085/G8_Action_Plan_EN.pdf |date=2010-10-09 }}. [[Carabinieri]], June 2004.</ref>
==International stance==
[[File:Sassari Brigade on patrol, Afghanistan.jpg|thumb|Italian soldiers of the [[Mechanized Brigade "Sassari"]] in Afghanistan in 2012]]
Italy has joined in many [[United Nations|UN]], [[NATO]] and [[EU]] operations as well as with assistance to [[Russia]] and the other [[Commonwealth of Independent States|CIS]] nations, [[Middle East]] peace process, [[peacekeeping]], and combating the [[illegal drug trade]], [[human trafficking]], piracy and terrorism.
Italy did take part in the 1982 [[Multinational Force in Lebanon]] along with US, French and British troops. Italy also participated in the 1990–91 [[Gulf War]], with the deployment of eight Panavia Tornado IDS bomber jets; Italian Army troops were subsequently deployed to assist [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] refugees in northern [[Iraq]] following the conflict.
As part of [[Operation Enduring Freedom]], Italy contributed to the international operation in [[Afghanistan]]. Italian forces have contributed to [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]], the NATO force in [[Afghanistan]], and to the [[Provincial reconstruction team]]. Italy has sent 3,800 troops, including one infantry company from the [[2 Alpini Regiment|2nd Alpini Regiment]] tasked to protect the ISAF HQ, one engineer company, one NBC platoon, one logistic unit, as well as liaison and staff elements integrated into the operation [[command hierarchy|chain of command]]. Italian forces also command a multinational engineer task force and have deployed a platoon of Carabinieri [[military police]].
The Italian Army did not take part in combat operations of the 2003 [[Iraq War]], dispatching troops only when major combat operations were declared over by the [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[George W. Bush]]. Subsequently, Italian troops arrived in the late summer of 2003, and began patrolling [[Nasiriyah]] and the surrounding area. Italian participation in the military operations in Iraq was concluded by the end of 2006, with full withdrawal of Italian military personnel except for a small group of about 30 soldiers engaged in providing security for the Italian embassy in [[Baghdad]]. Italy played a major role in the 2004–2011 [[NATO Training Mission – Iraq|NATO Training Mission]] to assist in the development of Iraqi security forces training structures and institutions.

Since the second [[post-war]] the Italian armed force has become more and more engaged in international peace support operations, mainly under the auspices of the United Nations. The Italian armed forces are currently participating in 26 missions.<ref name="Budget2014"/>
