184th TLC Support Battalion "Cansiglio"

The 184th TLC Support Battalion "Cansiglio" (Italian: 184° Battaglione Sostegno TLC "Cansiglio") is a telecommunications (TLC) support battalion of the Italian Army's signal corps. The battalion is based in Treviso in Veneto and assigned to the Army Logistic Command. The unit was formed in 1947 as a battalion and assigned to the Infantry Division "Folgore". In 1976, the battalion was named for the Cansiglio Pass and received the number 184th, which had been used by the 184th Connections Company that had served with the 184th Infantry Division "Nembo" and the Combat Group "Folgore" during the Italian campaign of World War II. With the name and number the battalion also received its own flag. In 1993, the battalion was disbanded and its personnel used to form the Signals Materiel Repair, Supply and Experimentation Telematic Center. In 1999, the center was renamed 184th TLC Support Regiment, which received the flag and traditions of the battalion. Since then, the unit is responsible for building and maintaining the army's telecommunications network in northern Italy and Tuscany, and for providing third line maintenance for the network's materiel in the aforementioned regions. In 2017, the regiment was disbanded and the battalion became once more an autonomous unit. The battalion's anniversary falls, as for all signal units, on 20 June 1918, the day the Austro-Hungarian Army began its retreat across the Piave river during the Second Battle of the Piave River.
