An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory and, as such, rely on the United Kingdom for the guarantee of their security. The other UK territories in the South Atlantic, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, fall under the protection of British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI), formerly known as British Forces Falkland Islands (BFFI), which includes commitments from the British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. They are headed by the Commander, British Forces South Atlantic Islands (CBFSAI), a brigadier-equivalent appointment that rotates among all three services (Navy, British Army, and RAF).

dbo:abstract
  • Las islas Malvinas son un territorio de ultramar británico y como tal su defensa es responsabilidad del Reino Unido. Los otros territorios británicos en el Atlántico Sur: Georgia del Sur y las islas Sandwich, están bajo la protección del BFSAI(British Forces South Atlantic Islands / fuerzas británicas de las islas del Atlántico sur), lo cual conlleva que dichos territorios sean defendidos por el ejército de tierra, la RAF y la Royal Navy /armada británica.​ Estas fuerzas están comandadas por un responsable único, un comandante, que en estos momentos es Nick Sawyer. Argentina retomó el control de las islas Malvinas el 2 de abril de 1982. Después de recuperar estos territorios en junio de 1982, el Reino Unido invirtió fuertemente en las islas con objeto de aumentar su defensa, siendo el punto más importante de la misma la nueva base aérea de Mount Pleasant (Monte Agradable), a 43 kilómetros de Puerto Argentino/Stanley'. La base se abrió en 1985, estando totalmente operativa en 1986.​ (es)
  • The Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory and, as such, rely on the United Kingdom for the guarantee of their security. The other UK territories in the South Atlantic, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, fall under the protection of British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI), formerly known as British Forces Falkland Islands (BFFI), which includes commitments from the British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. They are headed by the Commander, British Forces South Atlantic Islands (CBFSAI), a brigadier-equivalent appointment that rotates among all three services (Navy, British Army, and RAF). Argentina invaded and took control of the Falklands on 2 April 1982. After recapturing the territory in June 1982, the UK invested heavily in the defence of the islands, the centrepiece of which was a new airfield at RAF Mount Pleasant, 27 miles (43 km) west of Stanley. The base was opened in 1985, and became fully operational in 1986. (en)
