Falklands logistics: a reflection on an ultimate challenge 40 years on / Hellberg, Ivar   Journal Article
Hellberg, Ivar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article is based on my experience of commanding the Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines during the Falklands War. It discusses the huge logistic challenge of supporting a divisional-size force over 8,000 miles from home without air resupply and without air superiority over the battlespace. This could not have been achieved without the unique organisation and teamwork of the Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines. It was the key component to provide the Land Force Commander with the logistical hub of the operation known as the Beach Support Area. I conclude with some lessons from the war, which I believe remain relevant today.

Falklands Logistics: have we learnt the lessons and could we do it again today / Hellberg, Ivar   Journal Article
Hellberg, Ivar Journal Article

Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract The question remains: 'could we do it again today' assuming, of course, that we were not fully tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. This article will reexamine the logistic lessons of the Falklands War and compare them against our present capability. To do this, advice has been taken from current experts in the Ministry of Defence and from the Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines, that has just returned from Afghanistan. First we need to examine the key logistic phases of the Land operation: the mobilization, the re-stow at Ascension Island, the logistical plan and the lessons from the campaign itself.
