This article hasn't referement about the role of women in italian army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.84.241.3 (talk) 23:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Females
The article is unclear of the role of females in the Italian military. It only gives the age ranges for males but it appears to army at least accepts females. The positions of the other branches is unclear Nil Einne 12:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What's their status for frontline service? Would it be correct to describe a female military pilot as a "fighter pilot"? I'm thinking of Samantha Cristoforetti here in particular. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:10, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Move?

The result of the move request was not moved yet. The latest discussion at MilHist seems to indicate that this is going to be put to the wider community sometime soon. Any further moves such as these should wait for that community discussion. --Aervanath (talk) 15:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Various moves including Military of Italy → Armed forces of Italy listed at Requested moves — Over redirect: "Armed forces" means the land army, air force and navy of a country, while "Military", while meaning the same thing, can also refer to just the land army, and thus is ambigious. Per Pervious lengthy discussions on MilHist talk page "Armed forces" is preferable to "Military" in names like this" —

 * Oppose "Military" is more concise and, quite frankly, more common. Not by much, but still more common. But in part your right. But the reason is simple. "Armed forces" has come into use more recently, when naval and air forces played a much more important role. Over the thousands of years of recorded military history (what? since biblical times?), only recently (the last 500) has naval power really meant so much, and only the last 75 has air power meant so much. And even when naval power came into force, it was not under a unified command with the army, but was often under a separate command structure (hence, the navy had its own ground forces, the marines.)
