In law enforcement language, officer does not have the same meaning as in the army. Even though the GDF are strictly military, if translating into English, the context is police, rather than military (Tax Police is often used as a translation, for example). See:

rereading, I'm not sure that I was very clear there. What I meant was that the word 'officer' (as defined in the wikipedia link) is fine in this context. Whereas 'officer' in a military context denotes a position of command, in law enforcement its meaning is more general and includes those without such responsabilities. Since your context is law enforcement, I would say that using 'officer' here works (despite the fact that the GDF are a military body in Italy), because in the target culture, the Tax Police are a law enforcement rather than military body.

A lot of Google hits in Italian. The only parallel I could come up with is operating agents.
