Handover/Takeover ceremony for Joint Task Force-Lebanon Sector West Commander between Major General Stefano Messina, outgoing, and Brigadier General Nicola Mandolesi, incoming, in the presence of Chief of Defence Staff General Luciano Portolano.

“A significant moment which testifies to Italy’s continued commitment in Lebanon, ideally and concretely. An important contribution in favour of regional stability provided day-by-day by the Italian personnel with caring spirit, in a complex theatre: the Middle East, where our Armed Forces play a crucial role. Let me thank General Messina and Brigade Sassari for the valuable job done over the last six months in the Land of Cedars. All the best to General Mandolesi and the military from Brigade Pozzuolo del Friuli! I am confident they will gain appreciation and esteem based on their contribution to the ongoing ceasefire and stabilization process”. Thus Defence Minister Guido Crosetto.
