		As they would normally be based in the southern part of Argentina with similar terrain and weather conditions they were well acclimatized and better equipped than most other units of the Argentine forces sent to the Falklands in 1982.
		All things considered the losses were lighter than expected, 9 killed and 41 injured on the British side and approximately 25 Argentines lost their lives with probably twice this number injured.
