The Italian invasion force was built of ad hoc assembled units. It took the name of "Expeditionary Corps OMT" under command of Gen. Guzzoni.

It was divided in three "groups" which had to land in successive times. The most important was logically the first, which was divided in four "columns". Each column had its own landing harbor and a target inland on which to advance.

First Group (7 April, 1939)

Column One:
(Commander: Col. Scattini, Landing point: S. Giovanni di Medua, Target: Scutari)
