MNCG: 2022 CALENDAR PRESENTED

20 years since the constitution of the unit retraced with a photographic project

Motta di Livenza, December 14th, 2021.
On 14 December 2022, at the Mario Fiore Barracks in Motta di Livenza, the MNCG calendar, celebrating the 20 years of the Group constitution, has been presented. The event, held in the presence of local authorities and in full compliance with anti-Covid regulations, had the intention of retracing the two decades of challenges and changes that the unit and, more generally, the CIMIC operational function, has faced and passed brilliantly, adapting to the operational needs of NATO. A story, therefore, made up of successes and seasoned with innumerable international activities faced at all times with determination, courage and passion. The birth of the operational function of civil-military cooperation, which took place at the end of the nineties, arose from the need to find dedicated assets that could interface with professionalism and foresight with non-military actors, constantly growing in operational and crisis scenarios. The goal was to coordinate the numerous and different actors operating in the sector of the implementation of basic infrastructure projects, socio-economic development and training. From the first mission in 2002 in Iraq, framed in the Antica Babilonia operation, the Multinational CIMIC Group operators have been deployed in various scenarios, from the Middle East to Africa, from the Balkans to the Mediterranean basin up to being recently activated as a CIMIC asset for the NATO Response Force, in order to support the Allied Solace operation, aimed at the evacuation of Afghan personnel. All this was relived, together with the citizens, through a graphic path that represents the skeleton of the “MNCG 2022 Calendar”. "... the strength of a military unit is to know how to adapt to modern operational scenarios, to be always ready in any situation and to improve its capabilities by constantly renewing itself ..." declared the Commander of the MNCG, Colonel Mattia Zuzzi, which then presented the international staff to the citizens, precisely to symbolize the jointness and the multinationality of the unit.
