15° Stormo is the AMI's dedicated SAR unit and has over recent decades contributed to international humanitarian relief operations in Albania, Iraq and Kosovo and Somalia among others. In 2014 this HH-3 featured in a celebration at Pratica di Mare to mark the end of the type's service, the unit since operating the HH-101 and HH-139.
