The
United States Army has military complexes (bases are Italian territory and can be managed anytime by the Italian State authorities,[1] as the
Sigonella crisis showed) in
Italy:
Darby Military Community, formerly Camp Darby, located in the
Province of Pisa, halfway between
Pisa and
Livorno. A 1951 US-Italian agreement conceded to the Pentagon the transformation of thousands of acres of Tuscan woods in a secret military base. The complex is named in honour of
William O. Darby, founder of the US 1st Ranger Battalion, who died on the battlefield in Italy in 1945 (see
it:Camp Darby).
