Headquartered at Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, about 25 miles west of Venice, SETAF is the organization of choice when it comes to responding to crises and contingencies anywhere within U.S. European Command's area of responsibility. The U.S. Army Southern European Task Force [SETAF] is an airborne rapid reaction force and Joint Task Force Headquarters. SETAF is ready to respond anywhere within the U.S. European Command's area of responsibility. SETAF has been forward deployed since the 1950's and remains an integral part of the U.S. Army's Power Projection ability.
The SETAF mission is to provide trained forces, including a Joint Task Force headquarters, which are deployable within 72 hours. With approximately 1,900 soldiers assigned or in tenant support units, USASETAF is the largest U.S. Army force south of the Alps in Europe, with responsibilities throughout the Southern Region and the Mediterranean area. SETAF plans and conducts joint warfighting or stability operations in NATO's European Command area of responsibility. It enhances regional stability by providing host nation liaison for operations conducted in Italy, and provides fully deployable core of a Joint Task Force oriented on stability operations.
