According to the Italian daily Il Punto this second contingent of troops will undergo ten weeks of basic training at the Bersaglieri 8th Regiment’s headquarters in Persano. When training is complete the personnel will be operating at a company level.

The first group of 340 troops has just finished and returned to Libya yesterday.

The programme concluded with a series of live-fire exercises.

“If Libya returns to stability, it will certainly be with your support, ” he added, thanking the Italians for their hospitality.
