Italian military sports bodies

The Italian military sports corps (Italian: Corpi Sportivi Militari Italiani, abbreviated C.S.), are the sports sections of the Italian Armed Forces and Polizia.

Athletes
Athletes affiliated with one of the military sports bodies receive a rank and salary equivalent to servicemen. They also receive basic military training, although the majority of their training is sport-specific and usually takes place in one of the military sports centers. 194 of the 290 athletes that represented Italy at the 2012 Summer Olympics belonged to a military sports body.
