What was the composition of this units. I am thinking mostly of those that were in Raggruppamento Brisotto that operated from Albania. It had Alpini Infra Battalion and 1,2 RGF Battalions.

The Regia Guardia di Finanza was a garrison force that was in all the war teathre of ww2....it have only battalions and company (18 battalion in all). It was operative expecially in Albania, Greece and Montenegro ......

Theoretically the TOE of the battalions was this:
Comando
Compagnia comando
-plotone comando
-plotone collegamenti
-plotone esploratori
Compagnia fucilieri (x3)
-plotone comendo
-plotone fucilieri (x3)
Compagnia armi accompagnamento
-plotone comando
-2xplotone mitraglieri
-2xplotone mortai da 45mm Brixia
31 officers,45 private, 816 soldiers, 69 horses, 2 moto,4 cicle, 11 L39 trucks,36 lmg,8 mg,18 45mm mortars
But on the field the 45mm mortars never went with the battalions and many of the 18 battalions mobilized have only two rifle platoons in rifle coys instead of three...
