I've decided to start a thread to post various organizational/Authorization (TO&E-type) documents of the Italian military. As well as other TO&E data in any form.
Few of those are available in the Internet, so I think it'll be useful for forum members to collect them in one place.
All the TO&Es...
Italian infantry in North Africa had peculiar AS-42 modular organization with each infantry company having only one rifle platoon, the rest of the platoons being HMG, Anti-tank rifles, Anti-tank guns. Compare it with previous Italian (and not only) infantry company having three rifle platoons...
Maybe this handbook will be useful to somebody on this forum.

Some good details on contemporary organization. Unfortunately, it is incomplete.
MVSN short story (in Italian): http://www.regioesercito.it/milizia/mvsnstoria.htm
Basic MVSN military organization was the infantry battalion. AFAIK, it was never similar to the Army infantry battalion - it was always smaller and lightly armed.
