Argentine ground forces in the Falklands War

This is a list of the ground forces from Argentina that took part in the Falklands War (Spanish: Guerra de las Malvinas). For a list of ground forces from the United Kingdom, see British ground forces in the Falklands War.

Argentina had seven complete infantry brigades: IV Airborne Infantry Brigade in Córdoba; IX Brigade in the Chubut Province close to the Falklands; the well-equipped VI and VIII Mountain Infantry Brigades along the Chilean border; XI Brigade, (cold-adapted) in the extreme south; and III and X Brigades facing the benign Uruguayan border.

In the Argentine Army, the entire stock of conscripts was changed over at New Year. Soldados Clase ’63 (SC 63) were conscripts born in 1963. On April 2, 1982 SC 63 had had three months of boot camp. The army tried to replace SC 63 with the newly demobilized SC '62 by the time the British arrived.
