The Raiders and Underwater Command (also known by the acronym COMSUBIN), whose official name is GOI-GOS Group and Commandos "Teseo Tesei" Grouping is also responsible for the Navy to conduct unconventional warfare operations in the aquatic environment.
The headquarters of the group is located at Varignano, the promontory that forms the extremity 'west of the port of La Spezia and just to the east of Porto Venere.
The Operations Group Commandos G.O.I.
The G.O.I. together with the 9 th Regiment "Col Moschin" Army, the "GIS" Carabinieri and 17 Wing Air Force Commandos are the special forces of the Italian Armed Forces (Armed Forces) from the Ministry of Defense employees. The staff is completely professional and the training is very difficult to ensure high operational standards.
Origins
The formation of groups of underwater incursion came with the First World War as a means of using the MAS men of the Royal Navy to sign a number of actions brought against the Austro-Hungarian fleet, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy in dramatic actions such as the historic company Premuda. The origin of the raiders COMSUBIN be attributed specifically to the thirties, however, the experimental use - besides the already mentioned MAS - means special assault. Until 1 July 1939, however, was not a department was set up ad hoc body. On that date, La Spezia, I was born nd Flotilla MAS.
The group of raiders, who in 1941 was renamed the X ª MAS Flotilla, obtained considerable success in actions which are still studied by the special forces around the world, in particular, being able to infiltrate the heavily armed bases opposing site in Sudan, Gibraltar, Alexandria ' Egypt. The unit is also linked to the memory of Teseo Tesei, an officer fallen in combat along with several partners during a mission in the port of Malta in July 1941, while trying on a torpedo run slow, to blow up the obstruction input, for that action Tesei won the gold medal to the memory, leaving a dowry to the department also studies and achievements in the field of materials and weapons for special operations.
During the Second World War was used by the raiders torpedoes slow running, also known as "pigs", punts and explosives, weapons of which the British were quick, in turn, to acquire as a result of Italian equities.
A group of hardy Commandos in 1952
After 8 September, the military group was disbanded and the staff came together in the infant of the same body called Mariassalto (with Commander Ernesto Forza) and continue the war alongside the Allies. At the same time, however, at the Italian Social Republic, and under the "old" name of the X ª MAS Flotilla, (with Commander Prince Junio Valerio Borghese), other elements of the department commandos of the Navy continued to operate under the flag of the Republic of Salò (CSR). After the war departments (whose ability to sabotage were expressly forbidden by the Peace Treaty of Paris of 1947) were reorganized at the present site of the semi-clandestine Varignano (La Spezia), originally with the establishment of Maricentrosub, from which sprang the Group Range (1950) Cores and ICSD (Mine Clearance, Defense, Insidious Antimezzi).
Became the official structures of the Navy in 1952 (after the removal of constraints of the Treaty) with the establishment, under the command of Lieutenant Massarini the "Arditi Commandos Group", later renamed MARICENT.ARD.IN, whose members, as well operations at sea, were trained for combat in the mountains and activities to allow the unit aviolancistiche preparation in all combat scenarios. Some operators of the department were sent to attend specialized courses in the United States of America, France and the United Kingdom with similar departments. On February 15, 1960 officially formed the Command Grouping Divers and Commandos "Teseo Tesei" COMSUBIN precisely known.
Recruitment and Training
The course is held at the Ordinary Commandos Varignano, teaches the silence, patience, patience. His is a training program that lasts about a year ending with the coveted "Green Beret" and the beginning of a unique life, unique: being an operator of the Special Forces of the Navy. All course activities in the commitments provide for a gradual and following day after day the instructors, with proper motivation and spirit of sacrifice, the student can pass tests that it considers outside its competence, will consider things beyond his reach. The course lasts one year, beginning in May and is divided into a period of centralization, in three stages and a final phase of training missions.
Centralization
The course takes two weeks to centralization. The prospective student must incur medical visits in the infirmary of COMSUBIN and face the first obstacle of the course: the physical evidence and acquatic. These tests exceeded the aspiring student can begin the real training.
First phase (Battle Ground)
The first phase lasts 12 weeks. The students are undergoing a gradual but intense physical training, with training in running, free exercises, swimming and began to ground combat and topography. The activities become increasingly challenging As the weeks pass. The students will participate in weekly rehearsals running fast (first in sneakers and then kept in operation), the path of war, scramble, topographic and operational march.
Second phase (Fighting in water)
After completing the first phase, the student has demonstrated the instructors to be able to further training. The second phase lasts 13 weeks. During this period, physical training continues, but the activity is mainly dedicated to swimming and the underwater surface using aqualung oxygen. The first sessions of instruction held in the tank operational students learn to swim underwater torque. The ability to swim makes operating the student capable of completing missions naval attack, this ability that distinguishes Navy Commandos by operators of other special forces.
Third phase (combat amphibian)
The phase lasts 12 weeks and the primary activity is focused on surface navigation, landing, taking the ground and infiltration in various types of coast, including the rock, while continuing training in navigation pitched in patrols. Trainings are given to the use of explosives, weapons and executing attacks on ground targets and reconnaissance. The physical training continues and the students are tested in the execution of short, intense exercises.
Fourth phase
The final phase lasts 15 weeks and students are engaged in the preparation and execution of the final exercises, performed with the utmost realism, and in the end of course exams. Promoted to be delivered, with a simple but memorable ceremony, the coveted "Green Beret" seal of the patent for the Navy Forces.
After the ordinary course, the neo-raiders not yet patented "combat ready" are awarded the patent with the parachute bridle at the CAPAR of Pisa, doing a course lasting 4 weeks.
Integrative Course
It lasts from six to eight months, in which operators are introduced to the techniques and tactics of the Operational Group: earthing, down from a helicopter "fast rope", shooting on the move, the fire training team, stages that link to refine the techniques with the assault rifle, combat ground, helicopter operations, naval attack; stage for special actions for urban combat in confined spaces (inside a building or a ship), use of explosives and rockets; procedures inspection of merchant ships.
Additional training courses of the raiders, who can never set ended, continues during the post in the operating department. With the frequency of further courses of specialization, both in Italy and abroad, individual operators can increase their knowledge, attitudes consistent with their own specific needs and organic department, extend their scope for action and investigate specific skills.
Those that take place in Italy are:
• Parachuting Course with Free Fall Technique (TCL), which takes place at the Parachute Training Centre (CAPAR) in Pisa for a period of between five and six weeks, during which you make a controlled opening jumps maximum height of 3-4000 meters (10,000 feet).
• Course marksman.
• Course FAC (Forward Air Controller), to enable missions to missions FAC (Forward Air Controller), for the direction of ground attack aircraft and pilots to designate targets, held at the School of the Air Force Aerocooperazione, lasting of five weeks, three theoretical and two practical. This qualification is limited to items in the possession of the necessary level of proficiency in English (which can be achieved with the frequency of the advanced course SLLE of Perugia). Normally, the course is followed by the Comptroller of the Fire Special Operations (CF / OS) for an additional three weeks. All this heralds the enabling function Laser Target Marking (FAC / LTM) for the use of laser designators supplied to the regiment. The training is laser designators all''mpiego related courses with a couple of weeks, which are held in the main allies polygons, Sardinia and abroad, or even on the occasion of the external missions, during his stay in the theater of detachments .
• Course deactivator explosive devices.
• Course communications.
• Course instructor military mountaineering.
For many years the COMSUBIN maintains working relationships with other countries of the Special Forces. Are of particular concern among the staff of the Exchange permanent naval commando and Navy Seals. The inheritance from the glorious X-MAS with the insidious development of amphibious vehicles have aroused the interest of business units that operate underwater attacks and incursions from around the world.

Interesting pics and info. In the first and second image, if we will change the uniform for an North American like BDU or DCU clothing, I might think they are former US Navy SEAL. Apart from the weapons, they are using gear from manufacturers such as Allied Industries, Eagle or London Bridge Trading. I find it curious.

Magic in the third photo is the new VEGECAM or MULTILAND pattern. Italian Special Forces like: GOI, COMSUBIM, Col MOSCHIN use gear made in ITALY by SOD Gear. I think the battle dress in the 3rd photo are made by SOD. SOD produce some battle vest or tactical vets and BA for the Italian special forces.
