Presentation
When, young Lieutenant, coming from the Accademia Aeronautica (Air Force Academy), on February 17, 1987 I was assigned to the new Department, largely to be invented and with an incomprehensible name, NIF AM-X, then led by the late Col. Gari Gino Roseano, I never expected to go back (or maybe yes, in my best dreams) a day as Director and on the occasion of his 25th anniversary.
Aware of the exceptional nature of the matter, I would like to express my pride in leading this prestigious Department of men and women who, aware of the magnificent work carried out by their predecessors, continue with the same enthusiasm and determination, herald of further splendid achievements.
The 3° Reparto Manutenzione Velivoli (RMV - Aircraft Maintenance Department) was, is and will always remain a state-of-the-art department, not only in aeronautics, but at the level of the Ministero della Difesa (Ministry of Defense.
In particular, I want to briefly mention that the sequence of records obtained by my Department, led him, the first Defense Authority ever, to obtain the "triad of excellence" in 2010 and that is the triple certification: quality, environmental and health and safety at work.
A rather singular event places the 25 years of the Department between the inauguration of the "Airfield" in Treviso which is assigned the name of "Giannino Ancillotto" and the inauguration of the Military Airport.
We could not therefore forget the 75 years of the airport, considering also that the maintenance hangar is, although updated to today’s standards on quality and safety of work, the same inaugurated in 1938.
We could not forget those who operated and, in some cases, lost their lives in the skies of Treviso.
Finally, we could not forget the deep bond that has always tied us to the “Marca trevigiana”.
Here, in a nutshell, are the motivations that triggered in the staff of the 3° RMV the idea of celebrating our 25th anniversary, so as to involve the city of Treviso and those who have served in the Department and have contributed to raise it to the current levels of excellence.
The volume aims to collect and combine our even brief history to that historical part that is the basis of our presence on the beautiful airport of Treviso.
Col. Garn Lucio Lorenzon Director of 3° RMV

The first 25 years
The 3° Reparto Manutenzione Velivoli was established on November 1, 1987, replacing the Nucleo Iniziale Formazione (Initial Nucleus Training) AM-X (NIF AM-X) established on September 1, 1986 on the air base of Treviso Sant'Angelo.
The NIF had the task of "inventing" the future Maintenance Department operating in various functional areas (up to the level of executive project): design of infrastructure; organisational structure; the logistics of the aircraft AM-X (Aeritalia, Macchi and any other partner; then Embraer); definition of operational maintenance procedures; training plan for all Weapon System personnel; management of allocated funds.
The first Director is Col. Gari Gino Roseano and the Wing present on the base, is the 2° Stormo (Wing) CBR (Caccia Bombardieri Ricognitori - Fighter Bombers Reconnaissance).
For the activities are used all the premises that the Stormo can make available: photographic laboratory, offices on the first floor of the building Command, rooms of the club officers, comrades of the barracks airmen, premises of the 16° Stormo dislocated on the sedime of Treviso. The rest of the staff, who cannot find adequate places to work, is located at 51° Stormo di Istrana (Technical Direction and Works Direction). The Central Depot AM-X established on May 1, 1988, is temporarily detached on the airport of Cameri, while in Treviso some old hangars are adapted, to the north of the runway, used by the Reparto Aerei Leggeri of the Esercito (Army Light Aircraft Unit of the Army) to shelter their aircraft and helicopters.
In 1991 the first infrastructures (Training Building and Avionics Building) of architectural and functional quality are delivered such as to be cited in the publication "the architecture of the Aeronautica Militare".
The Director and the Secretary the Department move to some classrooms of the Training Department.
For the maintenance of the engines it is opted for the use of the engine room of the 51° Stormo already provided with the necessary "wells" for the maintenance in vertical of the Spey engines.
In May 1992, after the demolition of the two vaulted hangars in Savigliano, the new warehouse was inaugurated, which manages about 25,000 active items of materials.
In April 1993, after the works of extension and modernization of the hangar, previously used by the 14° Gruppo and the CM (Centro Manutenzione - Maintenance Center) of the 2° Stormo and inaugurated in 1938, The aircraft maintenance hangar and rooms for the machining of all mechanical accessories are delivered.
The 3°RMV thus assumes the final configuration and in line with the regulations in force in terms of quality and safety of workers, environmental protection.
Confirming the attention to these issues, which the Department continues to observe, on February 15, 2005 was inaugurated the new structure Hush House, which allows you to shoot down, almost completely, the noise of the aircraft in engine test.
In 1993, the 2° Stormo, which had supported the 3° RMV, moved to Rivolto and was replaced by the newly formed Distaccamento Aeronautico (Aeronautical Detachment) of Treviso until 1998.
To the dissolution of the same one, June 1, 1998, the 3° RMV becomes independent Comando di Corpo (Corps Command) and place to the hierarchical dependencies of the 3° Reparto of the then Ispettorato Logistico (Logistic Inspectorate) then, as a result of the reform of the section Defense, 2ª Divisione del Comando Logistico (Division of the Logistic Command).
The logistic support is therefore provided by the 51° Stormo.
Since 1991 work began on both the aircraft (scheduled inspections greater than 500 hours of flight) and mechanical accessories (up to 3° Technical Level) and avionics (2° Technical Level) In 2008 we celebrate the 120th inspection of an aircraft AM-X.
The Training Direction has released, to date, more than 6,300 qualifications for Ncos maintenance and supervising officers and is able to conduct about 70 different types of courses.

Management systems and triad of excellence.
As far as Management systems are concerned, the 3° RMV has been a precursor within the Ministry of Defence and national state institutions. In fact, the Department has dedicated and dedicates to the achievement of the highest quality standards in the conduct of maintenance processes, special attention and commitment. In 2001 he was the certification UNI the first Department of M.D. the certification UNI EN ISO 9002:94 and, in 2004, the environmental certification EN ISO 9001:2000 with the additional requirements provided by NATO standards AQAP-120. In the same year it obtains ISO 14001. It is hardly the case to remember that the airport of Treviso is entirely incorporated in the "Regional Park of Sile".
The ambitious project to obtain the "Triad of excellence" (certification on health and safety at work) materializes on 13 April 2011 with the achievement of the BS OHSAS 18001:2007 cause of pride, not only for the Department, but also for Comando Logistico and the entire Aeronautica Militare.

The airport of Treviso
It is remarkable the coincidence that the 25 years of the 3° RMV are inserted between the anniversary of the 75th anniversary of the institution of the "airfield of Treviso" of October 13, 1935 and the inauguration of the military airport on September 21, 1938.
The airport, named after Giannino Ancillotto (pilot of the First World War and Gold Medal for the shoot down of the dracken of Rustigné) in its long history has hosted numerous, prestigious Flocks: 50 and 54 16 is, Distaccamento Aeronautico (Aeronautical Detachment) and finally 3° RMV.
Numerous historical testimonies attest to the deep bond that exists between the city of Treviso and "its" airport since the first collaborations between the Municipality and the various Commands.

The event
On the occasion of the celebrations of the 25th anniversary, the 3° Reparto Manutenzione Velivoli organized events to highlight the important milestone reached, on October 9 at the Salone del Palazzo dei Trecento "Aula Consiliare del Comune di Treviso" It was presented to the city authorities the book "3° Reparto Manutenzione Velivoli - 25 years of history", followed by an exhibition of historical technological, to conclude the presentation was held in Piazza Borsa with the exposure of an aircraft AM-X.
On the day 10, at the 3° RMV, there was the classic gathering of all military and civilian personnel who served or currently serving at the Department, for the occasion was exhibited an aircraft with a commemorative color.
To take a step back, however, we must certainly mention the event that took place on 8 October with the presentation of the AMX "Commemorative" to the specialized press, to local newspapers, as well as some aeronautical enthusiasts who orbit around the base of Treviso. The particular day (spotting day) has allowed the invited photographers to carry out photo shoots ad hoc respecting in an egregious way the "our" particular needs, this day is sure cause for applause towards the organizers of the 3° RMV!, that have shown for the occasion a sympathetic attention to the journalistic categories, and even to simple fans.
