The Operational Land Forces Support Command (Italian: Comando delle Forze Operative Terrestri di Supporto, COMFOTER SPT) is a major subdivision of the Italian Army tasked with providing support resources to the Operational Land Forces Command.
History
The Operational Land Forces Support Command was established on 1 October 2016, after the splitting of the Operational Land Forces Command in the Operational Land Forces Command - Army Operational Command (COMFOTER - COE) and in the Operational Land Forces Support Command itself.
The Operational Land Forces Support Command was established in accordance to the 2013 Revision Plan of the Ground Military Instrument of the Army Staff. The Revision Plan gave to COMFOTER SPT a chain of command independent from the Operational Forces Command, by upgrading the former Supports Command of the Land Operational Forces and placing the newly established COMFOTER SPT directly under the Chief of Staff of the Italian Army.
