| 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.
