Operational Land Forces Support Command

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.

[3][4] 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.

[2] While not hierarchically subordinate to the Operational Land Forces Command, the Operational Land Forces Support Command follows policy guidelines issued by the Operational Land Forces Command for preparation, training and preparedness of support Commands and Units.

[12]: 9 The Operational Land Forces Support Command directly depends on the Chief of Staff of the Italian Army and is based in Verona.
