The regiment is operationally assigned to the Army Logistic Command and provides the transport between operational units and the logistic command's maintenance centers.[2] Like all transport units of the Italian Army the regiment was named for a historic road near its base: in the 8th regiment's case for the medieval Via Casilina.
