The regiment was the fourth Italian paratroopers regiment to be formed. The regiment was assigned to the 184th Paratroopers Division "Nembo", with which the regiment deployed to Sardinia. After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 the regiment joined the Italian Co-belligerent Army and fought against the Germans in the Italian campaign. In September 1944 the remnants of the regiment and of its sister regiment the 183rd Infantry Regiment "Nembo" were merged to form the Paratroopers Regiment "Nembo", which continued to serve on the allied side for the rest of the war. In 2022 the regiment was reformed as a command and tactical supports unit.
