The Marshal School of the Italian Air Force / Viterbo Airport Command comes under the jurisdiction of the Command of the A.F. Schools and the 3rd Air Region of Bari; the Unit has a dual mission: on the one hand, as a university-level institution, it is tasked with providing military and moral training and specific professional education for Non-Commissioned Officers of the Marshal Rank, as well as the refinement and updating of such training; on the other hand, as a military airport open to civil traffic, it provides technical-operational support, air navigation services and force-protection activities at the Tommaso Fabbri airport
