Rome - Handover of Italian-Spanish amphibious force command leadership. The handover ceremony to the Spanish-Italian Amphibious Force - SIAF and the Spanish-Italian Landing Forces - SILF is due to take place on Thursday 13 July at 10 on board the Marina Militare San Giorgio landing platform dock, moored at the Naval Base in Brindisi. The two essentially linked operating situations made up of the air and sea component, dedicated to protecting and deploying forces towards the land objective area, and that of landing, specialized in force protection operations from the sea towards land, depend on two apical figures.
The Division Admiral Salvatore Vitiello, Commander of the 3rd Naval Division will hand over command of the SIAF to Rear Admiral Ricardo Atanasio Hernández Lopez, commander of the 2nd Naval Unit of the Spanish Navy, and Rear Admiral Cesare Bruno Petragnani, Commander of the Landing Force of the Navy will hand over command of the SILF to Brigadier General Antonio Planells Palau, Commander of the Tercio de Armanda.
