Description & Specifications

Although many books have been written about the Falklands War, this is the first to focus on the vital aspect of logistics. The challenges were enormous: the lack of preparation time, the urgent need, the vast distances involved, the necessity of seizing ships from trade, to name just four. After a brief discussion of the events preceding the Argentine invasion, the book details the rush to reorganize and deploy forces, dispatch a major expedition, the innovative solutions needed to support the campaign, the vital logistics base on Ascension Island, in-theater logistics, delays, and finally, restoring order after victory. If the logistics plan had failed, victory would have been impossible and humiliation inevitable, with no food for the soldiers, no ammunition for the weapons, no medical support for the wounded, etc. The lessons learned have never been more significant with the increase in the number of out-of-area operations required in remote problem areas in a short timeframe. The Falklands experience is critical for training new generations of military planners and fascinating for military enthusiasts, and this book fills an important gap.
