Italian Navy COMSUBIN Divers and Raiders Group Command Teseo Tesei Pocket Badge

The Italian Navy COMSUBIN Divers and Raiders Group Command Teseo Tesei Pocket Badge represents the elite underwater operations unit of the Italian Navy, known as the Comando Raggruppamento Subacquei e Incursori “Teseo Tesei” (COMSUBIN). This badge is typically awarded to personnel who have completed specialized training in combat diving and raiding operations and serve within this distinguished command. The badge design commonly includes imagery that reflects naval special forces traditions, such as anchors, diver motifs, or symbolic elements associated with Teseo Tesei, the founder of Italy’s commando frogman unit during World War II. Intended to be worn on the uniform breast pocket, the badge distinguishes the wearer as part of Italy’s primary maritime special operations force. The pocket badge holds significance both as a mark of qualification and as a representation of the history and heritage of Italian naval special warfare.
