ABSTRACT
The lessons of the major campaign remained relatively dormant until the late 1930s, when a small group of military and naval officers were ordered to study amphibious issues. At dawn the amphibious ships were moved in to San Carlos Water, an arm of the Sound protected by hills on both sides, and the invasion continued, using both landing craft and helicopters. One thing to keep in mind is that in the seventy-five day Falkland Islands War there was not just one amphibious landing; there were four. There were the two Argentine landings which resulted in the seizure early in April of both South Georgia and the Falklands, and the two British landings, the first late in April, the other late in May, which led to British recovery of those islands. The British government had recognize that their worst fears the invasions occurred, however, been slow before the invasions to were likely to be realized.
