History

On 1 January 1948 the Army General Staff Maneuver Auto Group was formed in Rome with personnel and materiel of the 21st Special Auto Unit and the Motorcyclists Company. On 1 May 1958 the group was renamed XI Maneuver Auto Group.[1]

During the 1975 army reform the army disbanded the regimental level and newly independent battalions were granted for the first time their own flags. On 1 October 1975 the XI Maneuver Auto Group was renamed 11th Maneuver Auto Group "Flaminia".[5] On 12 November 1976 the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone issued decree 846, which granted the new units their flags.[6]

On 1 July 1998 the group was renamed 11th Transport Battalion "Flaminia" and on 1 April 2014 the battalion was elevated to 11th Transport Regiment "Flaminia".[1]
