Quote:"Like it or not Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no doubt that the UK had "tacit" assistance from the U.S. during the Falklands War.
This may not have come as direct military logistical help, but given the tight political relationship between Thatcher and Regan at the time, intelligence and political pressure would have been made available at every opportunity."

Intelligence, yes.

'Concertina City' down on 'American Base' (The US/NASA enclave) was supplied by the 4055th Mobility Support Squadron from Holloman AFB.
