From 26-31 December, as part of Marshal Rodolfo Graziani's Operation Winter Storm (planned in conjuction with Benito Mussolini), the ''Monte Rosa'' (Alpine) and ''San Marco'' (Marine) Divisions under General Mario Carloni (with supporting Austraian mountain troops) attacked and overran the forward battalions of the US 92nd ''Buffalo'' Infantry Division (under General Edward Almond) entrenched along the Serchio Valley, with the Italians forming and commanding two of the three Axis Spearheads involved.
