The 9º Reggimento d'Assalto Paracadutisti (9th Parachutist Assault Regiment) Col Moschin ("Peak Moschin") is the fiore all'occhiello or proudest unit of the current Italian Army — in part due to its distinguished history, but also due to the arduous training which members must undertake. Its motto is Della folgore l'impeto — which roughly translated is Of the thunderbolt, The source / momentum. Training takes no less than two years for long-term members, and five months for short-term volunteers (with 1–2 years total military service).
