The Crippled Eagles The Crippled Eagles was the informal name of a group of American expatriate s that fought on the side of the Rhodesian Security Forces during the Rhodesian Bush War . The name and emblem came from author Robin Moore , who offered a house in Salisbury as a meeting place for the Americans who served in all units of the security forces , but never had their own unit . The name " Crippled Eagle " and their badge was meant to symbolise their abandonment by the US government . Robin Moore and Barbara Fuca tried to publish a book with the same title , but because of the political controversy the book was refused by publishers and appeared only in the early 1990s . The book was then published as " The White Tribe " , in 1991 . Background . One of the reasons for many of the American citizens who joined the Crippled Eagles was the " Soldier of Fortune " reports about both the Rhodesian Bush War and the means of entry into the Rhodesian Security Forces . From 1976 to 1980 almost every issue contained one or more articles about the ongoing conflict . The first issue of the magazine in 1975 actually contained two such articles , prompting some Americans to travel to Rhodesia .

Approximately 300 Americans , some with previous combat experience in Vietnam and other theatres of war , others with none , volunteered to fight in the Rhodesian Security Forces during the Rhodesian Bush War .

The Americans suffered seven combat fatalities and many others were wounded in combat , some maimed for life . Members killed .

British logistics in the Falklands War The British military campaign to re - take the Falkland Islands during 1982 depended on complex logistical arrangements . According to Admiral Sandy Woodward , who commanded the British Royal Navy aircraft carrier group during the Falklands War , the British Army , Royal Air Force , the Ministry of Defence and the Secretary of State for Defence , as well as the United States Navy , all “ initially suspected the operation was doomed . ” The logistical difficulties of operating from home were part of the reason . Merchant ships ( STUFT ) sent by the British during the Falklands War carried 100 , 000 tons of freight and 95 aircraft as well as 9 , 000 personnel . The supply chain also carried 400 , 000 tons of fuel . Even fresh water was a constituent of the logistics load sent to the south Atlantic . " Fort Toronto " served as a water tanker for the task force . Because of the distance from northwest Europe , the British took advantage of forward located supplies where they were available to them . The nearest forward base to the Falklands was on the British island of Ascension . The facilities there were run by the United States but they released their strategic stockpiles on the island . Chief among these was the provision by the US Air Force of aviation fuel . The US forces provided a total of or about 40 , 000 tons for British aircraft . But Ascension was still situated from the Falklands . As a result , the British were compelled to make use of whatever they could find in the South Atlantic . They went so far as to visit whaling stations that had been abandoned two decades earlier . After South Georgia was taken back from the Argentines , ships called in at the stations on the island where they requisitioned steel and other repair material . Then having landed on East Falkland the British made use of tractors lent by local farmers . There was little else available in forward locations . The British were forced to bring almost everything they required .
