Do you have to be airborne qualified to be stationed in Italy as a soldier? Say you were supply but haven’t gone to airborne school. Can you still get orders there? I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.

No.... But yes. There are a few non airborne slots there, but they are very few, most of them are in joint units. There's an MI unit there as well that I think is non airborne. But the majority of Soldiers in Italy are in the 173rd and it's an Airborne unit. So if you wanted to request Italy and you weren't Airborne, it would be very difficult to get.

You don’t have to be airborne qualified but it is harder if you’re not. They only have minimal positions and MOSs for non-airborne. I have a couple of friends in Italy now that are not airborne. I suggest Once you’re back on active duty to contact your branch manager to see if they can assist with you receiving assignment instructions to Italy. Good luck to you...

There is an Airborne unit in Vicenza Italy, but there is no requirements to be airborne qualified just to be stationed in Italy
