The Italian Army is a faction found in Breakthrough expansion pack for the Allied Assault series, and in Medal of Honor: Vanguard.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: Breakthrough
They were first fought in Bizerte Canal, and serves as the main antagonists in the second mission until the date surpasses 1944 (mission 3), when they surrendered to the Allies. They were known to be more challenging then the Germans at times.
Medal of Honor: Vanguard
They were not the main enemy in the campaign, because they only appear in the first mission, Off Target. They share the same equipment as the Waffen SS, but were very slow and is not as dangerous as the Germans; however, they will always come in large groups.
Medal of Honor: Airborne

Trivia
- They were replaced by the Italian Blackshirts in Medal of Honor: Airborne.
- In Vanguard, they used German weapons instead of their own. However, this is historically accurate because the Germans and the Italians were allies, often sharing weapons and resources.
- Their in-game uniforms are also wildly inaccurate.
