The 18th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment (Italian: 18° Reggimento Artiglieria Controaerei) is an inactive air defense regiment of the Italian Army, which was based in Rimini in the Emilia Romagna. Originally an artillery regiment of the Royal Italian Army, the regiment was formed in 1888 and served in World War I on the Italian front. In 1935, the regiment was assigned to the 24th Infantry Division "Gran Sasso", which fought in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. In 1939, the division was renamed 24th Infantry Division "Pinerolo". In World War II the Pinerolo division fought in the Greco-Italian War, after which the division remained in occupied Greece on anti-partisan duty. The division and regiment were located in Thessaly, when the Armistice of Cassibile was announced on 8 September 1943. The division resisted German demands to surrender and moved into the Pindus mountain range, where the division was disarmed by the Greek People's Liberation Army. In 1947, the Italian Army reformed the regiment and assigned it one year later to the Infantry Division "Mantova". In 1951, the regiment was disbanded and reformed once more in 1952. In 1953, the regiment was reorganized as an anti-aircraft artillery regiment and, on 1 June 1953, the regiment was transferred from the field artillery to the anti-aircraft specialty. In 1975, the regiment was disbanded and its flag and traditions assigned to the 18th Field Artillery Group "Gran Sasso", which was a training formation assigned to the Italian Army's Artillery School. In 1981, the group was disbanded and the regiment's flag transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome for safekeeping. In 1992, the regiment was reformed as an anti-aircraft artillery unit. In 1997, the regiment was once more disbanded and its flag returned to the Shrine of the Flags. The regiment's anniversary falls, as for all Italian Army artillery regiments, on June 15, the beginning of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918.
