Whether it's an artillery battery miles from the battlefield, a naval gun out at sea, or a ground attack aircraft high above the fighting, such weapons systems would be far less effective without the services of well-trained forward observers. Each infantry division in the Regio Esercito was assigned its own artillery support units, and although many of the artillery pieces and aircraft were obsolete, they were still quite deadly under the right circumstances. Given the firepower these forward observers could bring to bear on their targets, their neutralization was a top priority for opposing commanders.
