The Multinational Division South (MND-S) is an Italian Army NATO-assigned deployable division headquarters. The division is based in Florence in Tuscany and assigned to the Operational Land Forces Command. Originally the division was named Division "Vittorio Veneto" (Italian: Divisione "Vittorio Veneto") and carried the name and traditions of the Cold War Armored Brigade "Vittorio Veneto". Brigade and division were named for the decisive Italian World War I victory in the Battle of Vittorio Veneto.
On 15 June 2025, the division became a multinational, NATO-assigned deployable division headquarters and was renamed Multinational Division South (MND-S). On 1 July 2025, the division was assigned, as Land Component Command of NATO'S Allied Reaction Force (ARF) to the NATO Rapid Deployable Corps – Italy. Italy contributes approximately 70% of the division's personnel, with remaining the personnel coming from eleven other NATO members: Albania, Croatia, France, Great Britain, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey, and Hungary. From 21 August 2025, the division's commander is Major General Giuseppe Scuderi.
