The Italian 6th Blackshirt Division "Tevere" (Tiber) was an Italian Blackshirt militia unit formed for the Second Italo-Abyssinian War by volunteers. However due to age (World War I veterans), physical disabilities (amputated veterans), lack of military training (Italians living abroad) and lack of supporting machinguns and pack artillery limited combat value.[citation needed] Nevertheless it saw some combat in minor actions on the Somali front, and performed creditably[citation needed] under the command of Gen. Enrico Boscardi.
