Which operation name is associated with the Falklands Conflict?

• A. Operation Corporate / Black Buck
• B. Operation Sea Lion
• C. Operation Eagle Claw
• D. Operation Torch

Answer: (A)

The Falklands Conflict is known in military history by the code name for the British campaign to retake the islands. That operation is Operation Corporate. This name is used in official histories and many accounts of the war, and it specifically identifies the overall effort to regain the Falklands in 1982. The other well-known options refer to different events: Sea Lion was a proposed Nazi invasion of Britain in World War II; Eagle Claw was the 1980 failed U.S. rescue attempt in Iran; Torch was the Allied invasion of North Africa in 1942. Black Buck refers to a separate RAF bombing raid conducted during the Falklands War, not the overarching campaign name. So the best fit for the Falklands Conflict’s operation name is Corporate.
