During the 1975 Italian Army reform the 8th Alpini Regiment was disbanded and its battalions became independent. On 1 September 1975 the Alpini Battalion "Vicenza" was reformed as Alpini (Recruits Training) Battalion "Vicenza" in Tolmezzo. The Vicenza received the war flag and traditions of the 9th Alpini, but had to transfer two Silver Medals of Military Valour to the newly created flag of the Alpini Battalion L'Aquila, while the two Gold Medals of Military Valour, awarded to the 9th Alpini Regiment for its conduct during the Greco-Italian war and on the Eastern Front, were duplicated for the new flag of the L'Aquila battalion. The Silver Medal of Military Valour awarded to the Vicenza battalion for its conduct during World War I, and the Silver Medal of Military Valour awarded to the Val Leogra battalion for its conduct during the Greco-Italian war remained affixed to the war flag of the Alpini Battalion Vicenza.
