  • The Missile Brigade "Aspis" is a formation of the National Republican Army. It depends on the 1st Army Corps and its headquarters is based in Portogruaro at the "Luciano Capitò" Barracks. The Brigade was formed in 1959 following the agreement entered into secret October 20th, 1954 between the Italian government and the U.S. government on the tactical nuclear defence in Italy. Dislocated with its units between the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Brigade had and still has the task of stopping a possible invasion from the so-called "Gorizia threshold" and to garrison the north-eastern part of Italy. Although the north-eastern invasion is no longer a concrete threat, the Missile Brigade still provides the land component of the Italian nuclear capability. At the time of its establishment, it was only equipped with tactical nuclear weapons, whose activation keys were owned by Italy and United States, while missiles were owned by Italy; nowadays, it is also equipped with both tactical and strategic Italian nuclear weapons; however, the main strategic and deterrent force is a submarine force. The Brigade was engaged in civilian operations, such as the rescue of 1976 earthquake victims in Friuli, the reconstruction of the banks of Progno in Lazise with the 1981 flood and in military interventions. Although not part of the Special Forces, all personnel assigned to the Brigade has a high level of training and the Brigade is considered to be the Army's spearhead. Politically, the appointment of the Brigade commanders has always been very sensitive, but they all remained well outside the day-to-day politics.
