BATON ROUGE, La. — The day it opened, the little seminary, as it was called then, had only about five dozen students.

The Falklands War - OPFOR

On 2 April, 1982, the armed forces of Argentina invaded and seized the Falkland Islands, compelling the surrender of its British governor and small garrison. Thus began a short, sharp, decisive little war that few saw coming and many did not believe would happen even as it was happening.

Military History Carnival: Call for Submissions

The first Military History Carnival will be held at Investigations of a Dog one week today (Thursday 12th April). I’ve had a good number of submissions, but there’s always room for more.

WebOps is a weekly report linking to military history news and articles published in mainstream online media. Excerpts are taken exactly as they are on the noted source websites; quotation marks are not used. The hyperlinks are added by me as I can find them. Please visit the Armchair Forums to discuss the topics in WebOps and much more!
