Mathematical modellers should consider cancelling out temporal variation in combat datasets through ratio models and/or exploring the effects of mutable detection and lethality ranges. We contend that this variable is related to suppression, and this contention is not falsified by the high use of offensive support in the most successful attacks. This data substructure indicates at least one extra variable needs to be considered. While six data points are too few for a thorough analysis, our results are consistent with: a linear relationship between time in danger and number killed different times in danger for the two sides, dependent on detection and lethality ranges and data substructure, even when temporal aspects are removed through ratio models. Errors in force balance or constitution are dangerous so exposing problems with and exploring improvements on existing combat models is important. The low level rules in simulations used by military force designers frequently share assumptions with, or are, mass action models. Mass action models of battle attrition fit this dataset poorly (at best coefficient of determination \(R^=0.10\)). Linear relationships between battle duration and deaths necessitate using force and loss ratios to remove temporal variation. We develop a dataset describing variables associated with six Falklands War battles: combatant numbers deaths temporal aspects and offensive support. However, the islands continue to operate as a self-governing British Overseas Territory.Mass action models, model testing, combat modelling, combat data Abstract In 1994, Argentina adopted a new constitution, which declared the Falkland Islands as part of one of its provinces by law. No change in either country's position regarding the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands was made explicit. ĭiplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Argentina were restored in 1989 following a meeting in Madrid, at which the two governments issued a joint statement. The cultural and political effect of the conflict has been less in the UK than in Argentina, where it has remained a common topic for discussion. In the United Kingdom, the Conservative government, bolstered by the successful outcome, was re-elected with an increased majority the following year. Patriotic sentiment ran high in Argentina, but the unfavourable outcome prompted large protests against the ruling military government, hastening its downfall and the democratisation of the country. The conflict has had a strong effect in both countries and has been the subject of various books, articles, films, and songs. Neither state officially declared war, although both governments declared the islands a war zone. Falkland Islanders, who have inhabited the islands since the early 19th century, are predominantly descendants of British settlers, and strongly favour British sovereignty. The British government regarded the action as an invasion of a territory that had been a Crown colony since 1841. Argentina asserted (and maintains) that the islands are Argentine territory, and the Argentine government thus characterised its military action as the reclamation of its own territory. The conflict was a major episode in the protracted dispute over the territories' sovereignty. In total, 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three Falkland Islanders died during the hostilities. The conflict lasted 74 days and ended with an Argentine surrender on 14 June, returning the islands to British control. On 5 April, the British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force before making an amphibious assault on the islands. The conflict began on 2 April, when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands, followed by the invasion of South Georgia the next day.
