The 123rd Infantry Regiment "Chieti" (Italian: 123° Reggimento Fanteria "Chieti") is an inactive unit of the Italian Army last based in Chieti. The regiment is named for the city of Chieti and part of the Italian Army's infantry arm.[2][3]
The regiment was formed in preparation for Italy's entry into World War I. During the war the regiment fought on the Italian front and was disbanded once the war concluded. In 1985 the regiment was reformed as a battalion sized training unit in Chieti. In 1994 the regiment was reformed and continued as training unit until it was disbanded in 2012.[2]
