== History ==
The Operational Land Forces Support Command was established on 1 October 2016, after the splitting of the Operational Land Forces Command in the Operational Land Forces Command - Army Operational Command (COMFOTER - COE) and in the Operational Land Forces Support Command itself.<ref name="COMFOTERCOEEI">{{cite web |title=Comando delle Forze Operative Terrestri e Comando Operativo Esercito - Esercito Italiano |url=httphttps://www.esercito.difesa.it/organizzazione/capo-di-sme/COMFOTER-COE/Pagine/default.aspx |website=www.esercito.difesa.it |publisher=Esercito Italiano |access-date=27 July 2020 |language=it}}</ref><ref name="Paola Casoli 3 Oct 16">{{cite news |last1=Casoli |first1=Paola |title=COMFOTER: cambio comando, al gen Primicerj subentra il collega Sperotto.

The Operational Land Forces Support Command was established in accordance to the 2013 Revision Plan of the Ground Military Instrument of the Army Staff. The Revision Plan gave to COMFOTER SPT a chain of command independent from the Operational Forces Command, by upgrading the former Supports Command of the Land Operational Forces and placing the newly established COMFOTER SPT directly under the [[Chief of Staff of the Italian Army]].<ref name="AnDif 12 May 17">{{cite web |last1=Scarpitta |first1=Alberto |title=Il Comando Forze Operative Nord – Analisi Difesa |url=https://www.analisidifesa.it/2017/05/il-comando-forze-operative-nord/ |publisher=Analisi Difesa |access-date=27 July 2020 |language=it-IT |date=12 May 2017}}</ref>
