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 Suppots 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 |accessdate=27 July 2020 |language=it-IT |date=12 May 2017}}</ref>
