Major General Giuseppe Li Causi visited the Villafranca Wing. General Li Causi was welcomed by the Wing Commander, Colonel Marco Maistrello, who gave a briefing on the main activities carried out by the unit.
On Thursday, General Li Causi visited the field and projection assets of the Operational Support Mobile Group, the Air Terminal Operation Center (ATOC), the aircraft handling section, the OX (Oxygen Gamma Plant) and POL assets of the Operational Support Services Group, and the area used for the practical phase of C-IED (Counter – Improvised Explosive Devices) training, as part of the courses held at the Out-of-Area Personnel Training Centre with the aim of indoctrinating personnel deployed on Out-of-Area Operations.
Subsequently, the Head of the Support Service carried out a driving test with a Land Rover tactical vehicle on the off-road track, set up to allow the acquisition of an adequate basis for driving an off-road vehicle safely, as part of the safe driving course held by the instructor personnel of the Transport Group.
During his stay in Villafranca, General Li Causi also met the Director of the Main Infirmary, Colonel Dario Di Blasio, and the Commander of the 27th Field Engineer Group, Colonel Pasquale Bizzarro, as well as the closest collaborators of the 3rd Wing Commander.
Before leaving the Base, as is tradition, the Head of the Support Service signed the Roll of Honour, writing: with the affection of someone returning home after “a bit” of time. Best of luck to the 3rd Wing!
