The Multinational Land Force (MLF), also known as the Italian–Hungarian–Slovenian Battlegroup[3] is an EU Battlegroup led by Italy, in which Hungary and Slovenia also participate.

The MLF originated in the late 1990s, when Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi took the initiative to form a Trilateral Brigade with Slovenia and Hungary. The Italian Alpine Brigade Julia formed the core of the new battlegroup, and also provided its headquarters in Udine; the Slovenian 10th Motorized Battalion and the Hungarian 1st Light Infantry Battalion moved in with them on 5 September 2001. On 10 January 2002, the MLF was formally established, after which training exercises began.[4][5]
