Default Italian Elite Corps

Alpini - some of the best trained and best equipped mountain troops in the world

Bersaglieri - highly mobile snipers, the Bersaglieri are helped by their training in running and by the aid of bicycles and motorbikes, althought now theyre mostly mechanised.

They Recently have been compared to the SAS and the US Delta Force and they were a good match, of course there is still a long way to go however they are not to be undersetimated, what do you think of them?

its very hard to become a brsagliere, the training they undergo is extremly rough it testes their abilities of living in the wild and all that kind of stuff, i belive they are the best units in the italian army.
