GooseGreen***ZakMod-Prelude***
The Battle of Goose Green (28-29 May 1982) was an engagement between British and Argentine forces during the Falklands War.
Goose Green and its neighbouring settlement Darwin on East Falkland lie on Choiseul Sound on the east side of the island's
central isthmus.British forces would control access to the entire Lafonia and thus a significant portion of East
Falkland.On 25 May Brigadier Julian Thompson, ground forces commander, commanding 3 Commando Brigade, was again ordered to
mount an attack on Argentine positions around Goose Green and Darwin.Thompson ordered 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment
(2 Para) to prepare for and execute the operation as they were the unit closest to Goose Green in the San Carlos defensive
perimeter. He ordered Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert 'H' Jones, Officer Commanding 2 Para, to "carry out a raid on Goose Green
isthmus and capture the settlements before withdrawing in a reserve for the main thrust to the north." The "capture"
component appealed more to Jones than the "raid" component, although Thompson later acknowledged that he had assigned
insufficient forces to rapidly execute the "capture" part of the orders.
