Each regiment consisted of one of the brigades Alpini battalions and an additional support company. Furthermore in 1993 the Tridentina Command and Signal Battalion was merged with the Engineer Company into the newly formed Tridentina Command and Tactical Support Battalion. Thus the new composition was:
