.S'QBJE_CT: South Atlantic/Falkland& Lessons Learned

(U) I met recently with KGEH Tony Boam, the BritiSh Defense Attache for a discussion of the lessons learned efforts in UK and here • . We plan to · exchan.ge any useful reports, .· notes, video tapes, etc .. , from the rec.ent · Gruber Lessons · Learned Conference · in London. The inputs from the two DlA peop,le we sent should be available within a week. We also expect a report from Wayne Arny ~o attended from Senatol' Tower's staff. ·

~ We tol d GEH . Boam our Public Affairs stai:f qy b.e contacting .the MOD concerning official releases or leaks of information.. The Economist continues to pub.lish infomation, presumably UK leaks, that we are treating

· ·as . elassified~ We need to. press for a way to more clearly determine what ·. can be said ·by you, the President,_ etc., that is unclassified.

-~- .We diacusaed the organization and. timetabl e of both lessons learned efforts.. GEN Bqam said the British report is still scheduled . for transmittal · to :Parliament iii .. mid~ctob~r. · :Until that time, .we will have very little actual data.

. task force is cOIIlpiling an of unclaasified articles, authoritative reports and

. lessons leaTned · summaries.. The Navy continues to make progress in its study 1 focused on· naval a•p¢cts, most of which will be integrated into the DOD-wide study. · ·

~ G~N _Boam apprec.iated the efforts we were mking to COIRpar.tment stu4ies on the intelligence . and ~pedal operations aspects- of th~ Falklands conflict. He. told · us tb•t GEN Moore ·(the ground force comaander in the Falklands) would probably visit the U.:S. in. late October and suggested that . if we w~nted ~t be Would llil1ke ·the . case for Air Vi~e Mar~halt Gilbert to . join hm dur1ng the last week of October to prov1de br1ef:lngs ·on the results of the . . British study. AVM .. Gilbert is focuSing exclusively on the British 1e~sons learned effort fr.om now through December. In ad4ition to one or two. DO~ide discussions, we would arrange for Moore and Gilbert to meet with the DOD/IDA tas~ force under GEN Shutler and· others to disc.uss . the

· , beUeve such >a bd~fing is i~pp'ropriate .at that time, we .can inform the · British . of your views ,rhen I next meet with GEN Boam.) . ·

. · ~Evidently; there waif some reluctance on Mr~. Nott's part ·to give, . . tb.e DOD the full report and all the details. But the military subsequently .·• c;:o11:vinced him tb.at the entire report and it's details shoald be provided . . 1lo1Fevet::, '. it is }lossible .that paJ:ts of the study ~Y be too·· politieally ·

sensitive . and not released: to the u ~s.

(U) Other. Britis.h. visits to ·the U.s. ·were al~o discussed: . ~ ,. . .

- U.S./UK naval .. staff talks in late September would address some 1.assons leahle.d. '' •·

- 'Field: Marslialf·'Sit:: Edward Bramall, the. ne:W .Chief . of the Defense Staff~ aight shed light on lessons leatned . when he makes .an official/ courtesy visit vitb CJCS (and you?) during 3 to 5 November~ ·

··.: . . .

~ J!:ither ·the liew -or retiring chief of Naval Staff (or both) will als:o visit in eatly November. ·

. .

f .lans . wil(b~ .~~e to .. capitalize on these visits and gain. insights · fo:r. the .· vari()us lessonil · learned efforts.

~ Plans. for :vis±ts to UK by POD elements wer e reviewed. · While most_ . ·. · visits . will· be : s~l;leduled after ·, the mid-october British report target .. date, sollle lilaited .. visifs will b.e earlier. The JCS Special Operations people plan to visit ~he~r couuterpa:cts, but have not .suggested . ·a firm date as

.. yet; the .Navy is · now planning to visit . CINcUSRAVEUR. next week . to f~rtJu~l: their les.soiis learne.ci. d·.fscussions; and we may want to s.elid GEN. Shutler .and

. another ind:hr:idual fr«?Di· the . IDA. Task Force to discuss the our study · . - plans and to alert thea. 'to areas where we may need th~.ir help that :will·,not
