Английская Википедия:44th TLC Support Battalion "Penne"
The 44th TLC Support Battalion "Penne" (Шаблон:Lang-it) is a telecommunications (TLC) support battalion of the Italian Army's signal corps. The battalion is based in Rome and assigned to the Army Logistic Command. The unit was formed in 1957 as a battalion, which operated and maintained the army's telecommunication network in the Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, and Umbria regions. In 1976 the battalion was named for the Forca di Penne Pass and received its own flag. In 1993 the battalion entered the newly formed 44th Signal Regiment, which in 1998 was reorganized as a telecommunications support regiment tasked with building the army's telecommunications network in central Italy, southern Italy, and on the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, and providing third line maintenance for the network in the aforementioned regions. The regiment's previous task of operating and maintaining the army's telecommunication network in central Italy was transferred to the 3rd Signal Regiment. In 2017 the regiment was disbanded and the battalion became once more an autonomous unit.[1][2][3] The regimental anniversary falls, as for all signal units, on June 20, the height of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918.[4]
History
On 1 October 1957 the XLIV Signal Battalion was formed in Rome with the personnel and materiel of the existing 8th Territorial Signal Company and the Signal Company of the Territorial Military Command of Sardinia. The battalion consisted of a command, a command and services platoon, and three signals companies. The battalion was assigned to the VIII Territorial Military Command in Rome.[2]
On 31 March 1962 the battalion's 3rd Signal Company, which was detached to Cagliari, became an autonomous unit. The next day the company was renamed Signal Company of the Sardinia Military Command and assigned to the Sardinia Military Command.[2]
During the 1975 army reform the army disbanded the regimental level and newly independent battalions were granted for the first time their own flags. During the reform signal battalions were renamed for mountain passes.[5] On 1 January 1976 the XLIV Signal Battalion was renamed to 44th Signal Battalion "Penne".[2] The battalion consisted of a command, a command and services platoon, and two signal companies.[6] The battalion was assigned to the Signal Command of the Central Military Region and operated and maintained the army's telecommunication network in the Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche (minus the provinces of Ancona and Pesaro), and Umbria regions. On 12 November 1976 the battalion was granted a flag by decree 846 of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone.[7]

On the same date the flag of the 44th Signal Battalion "Penne" was transferred from the battalion to the 44th Signal Regiment.[2]
