Among its precursors is the IX Reparto d ' Assalto (" 9th Assault Section "), known as the Arditi (' Brave or Bold / Tough Ones '), who were often tasked with preempting infantry assaults on the Italo-Austrian front lines ( which is currently the border between Italy and Slovenia ).

The 9th Parachute Assault Regiment " Col Moschin " is part of the Italian Army's Folgore Parachute Brigade, which is part of the 1st Defence Forces Command — composed of the front-line units of the new professional Italian Army.
