The Alpini Battalion "Val Cismon" (Italian: Battaglione Alpini "Val Cismon") is an inactive mountain warfare battalion of the Italian Army based last in San Stefano di Cadore in Veneto.

The battalion belongs to the Italian Army's Alpini infantry speciality and was assigned to the Alpine Brigade "Cadore".

The battalion was reformed again in January 1941 and sent to Albania to reinforce the 7th Alpini Regiment, which was suffering heavy casualties in the Greco-Italian War.

On 8 September 1943, the Armistice of Cassibile was announced and invading German forces disbanded the 9th Alpini Regiment and its battalions.

The rest of the year the battalion was deployed in the area of Forcella Magna and on Cimon Rava.

For the next months, until 1 March 1917, the Alpini battalions "Feltre" and "Val Cismon" alternated on the summit of Monte Cauriol.

On 31 December 1935, the 7th Alpini Regiment was transferred to the newly formed 5th Alpine Division "Pusteria".

The three battalions were assigned to the 4th Alpini Group, with which they participated in June 1940 in the Italian invasion of France.

[2][3] In November 1940, the 5th Alpine Division "Pusteria" was transferred to Albania to shore up the crumbling Italian front during the Greco-Italian War.

[2][3][7] For its conduct and service on the Greek front between 17 January and 23 April 1941 the Alpini Battalion "Val Cismon" was awarded a Silver Medal of Military Valor.

[2][3][4][7][8][9] In July 1942 the three alpine division arrived in Eastern Ukraine, from where they marched eastwards towards the Don river.

[2][3][4][8][9][10] On the evening of 17 January 1943, the Alpine Army Corps commander, General Gabriele Nasci, ordered a full retreat.

The 40,000-strong mass of stragglers — Alpini and Italians from other commands, plus German and Hungarians — followed the "Tridentina", which led the way westwards to the new Axis lines.

On the morning of 26 January 1943, the spearheads of the "Tridentina" reached the hamlet of Nikolayevka, occupied by the Soviet 48th Guards Rifle Division.

General Nasci ordered a frontal assault and by nightfall the troops of the "Tridentina" division had managed to break through the Soviet lines.

The two companies were tasked with maintaining and, in case of war, manning the Alpine wall positions at Prags and Landro Nord, which blocked passage through the Höhlensteintal into Cadore.

During the 1975 army reform the Alpini Fortification Battalion "Val Cismon" was disbanded on 30 June 1975.
