History

On 13 July 1987 the 10th Transport Battalion "Appia" was formed in Naples. Like all Italian Army transport units the battalion was for a Roman road near its base, in case of the 10th Transport Battalion the Via Appia was chosen. The battalion received the flag and traditions of the 10th Transport Regiment, which had been formed on 1 July 1942 in Naples and been disbanded in 1945 after World War II.[1]

On 1 July 1996 the battalion was reorganized as 10th Military Region Logistic Regiment "Appia", which already on 1 July 1998 was reorganized as 10th Logistic Support Regiment "Appia". On 1 October 1998 the regiment moved to Bari.[1]

On 1 February 2001 the regiment received the Logistic Battalion "Pinerolo" from the Armored Brigade "Pinerolo" and on the same day the regiment was assigned to the Logistic Projection Brigade. On 1 March 2001 the regiment was reorganized as 10th Transport Regiment.[1] At the time the regiment consisted of a regimental command, a command and logistic support company, a transport battalion, and a movement control battalion.[2]

On 12 September 2013 the Logistic Projection Command was disbanded and the 10th Transport Regiment was assigned to the Mechanized Brigade "Pinerolo". In 1 January 2015 the regiment was renamed Logistic Regiment "Pinerolo" and reorganized as a brigade supporting logistic regiment.[1]
