in Vivaro (BGM-71 TOW anti-tank guided missiles) Engineer Company "Garibaldi", in Orcenico Superiore With the abolition of the divisional level in the Italian Army on 1 October 1986 the "Garibaldi" came under direct command of the 5th Army Corps and received a new coat of arms. Recent history With the end of the Cold War and the following massive reorganization of the Italian Army the brigade was transferred to the South of Italy to the city of Caserta, where it became operational on 1 July 1991. Along with the move the brigade changed its name to 8th Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi" to reflect the changed composition of its subordinated units: 8th Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi", in Caserta Command and Signal Unit "Garibaldi", in Caserta 31st Tank Battalion "M.O. Andreani", in Persano 19th Squadrons Group "Cavalleggeri Guide", in Salerno 3rd Bersaglieri Battalion "Cernaia", in Caserta 67th Bersaglieri Battalion "Fagarè", in Persano 91st Infantry Battalion "Lucania" (Recruits Training), in Potenza 11th Self-propelled Field Artillery Group "Teramo", in Persano Logistic Battalion "Garibaldi", in Caserta Medical Battalion "Garibaldi", in Caserta Following the move the brigade became the first Italian brigade to fully professionalize. From 1992 onwards all soldiers of the brigade were professional soldiers or long term volunteers. During the later 1990s the brigades composition changed slightly as a result of the massive reduction of forces after the Cold War and the army's desire to preserve the names of the most decorated units of the Army. Therefore, units changed names, although garrison and composition of the units did not change. The brigade itself shed the number from its name 1 in September 1994.
