Infante Ejército Argentino Mayo 1982.
La estética natural que caracterizaba al infante argentino en los años 70 y principios de los 80 ya se había diferenciado mucho de la estética tipo prusiana que imperó el Ejército décadas antes. Al igual que muchas fuerzas de la OTAN, aún se llevaban uniformes dos piezas en verde oliva siendo el único elemento camuflado en el mejor de los casos la funda del casco. Tuvo un giro claro hacia el equipo tipo US Army pero podría compartir detalles con cualquier ejército europeo como el belga, el alemán u italiano de la Guerra Fría.
Con la intención de que sirva esta información como guía para quienes esten interesados en la reconstrucción histórica del infante argentino decimos: El infante argentino vestía un pantalón verde oliva con dos bolsillos en muslos, camisa verde, jersey y chaqueta tipo M43 americana, antecesora esta del modelo 51 (Korea) y 65 (Viet Nam)
Todo de muy gruesa tela pero no impermeable al agua y la humedad tán característica en las Malvinas. Hacemos notar que coronando estas piezas sería muy recomendable vestir la parca israeli de Bubon con capucha y mangas de tela que junto al casco M1 y las antiparras sirvieron de "sello" para el look más estereotipado de un infante. La mayor parte de las tropas de tierra que desplegó Argentina eran jóvenes soldados que estaban sirviendo al país con el Servicio Militar Obligatorio, es por ello que adolescen de una equipación, equipos y tácticas propias de soldados profesionales o incluso tropas especiales como podrían ser las británicas.
Equipo:
Consistía en un correaje completo en cuero verde compuesto de: cinturón, trinchas en "H", dos porta cargadores de FAL para dos unidades, porta bayoneta y funda para pala.
Los menos tuvieron la variante de portar el mismo equipo pero en Nylon verde.
Botas de caña alta con suela cocida y refuerzo en la puntera, de muy buena calidad eran incluso una pieza codiciada por las propias tropas británicas.
El casco era el M1 tipo OTAN que ya por esas fechas se producía en grandes cantidades en Argentina. Este casco podía llevar una funda en camuflaje Woodland más las Antiparras muy usadas para contrarrestar el frío helado en los ojos.
Uniforme:
Cualquier pantalón verde oliva con bolsillos en muslo. Puede ser el modelo 43 americano. La chaqueta una modelo 43 o 51 del Us Army. Existe una versión parecida que es la Austríaca.
Equipo:
Cualquier trincha en "H", puede ser española años 70, la americana de lona modelo 56 (Nam) o la más moderna que reemplazó a esta pero en Nylon, la modelo 67 del Us Army también.
Botas. Cualquier bota de caña alta con ojales o broches.
Casco. M1 con o sin funda Woodland
Armas.
FAL, M3 Grees Gun , FAP.
Utensilios comida: El famoso mess kit de la OTAN sirve.
Cantimplora: De aluminio o plástico tipo Americana con funda de lona mejor.

Argentine Army Infantry in May 1982.
The natural aesthetic that characterized the Argentine infantry soldier in the 70's and early 80's had differentiated from the kind of aesthetics that reigned in the Prussian Army decades ago.
Like many NATO troops, they still wear the two-piece olive green uniform. The only camoflage element is the cover of the helmet. It had a clear turn to the U.S. Army type of equipment but may share details with any European army like the Belgian, German or Italian Cold War.
The intent is that this information serves as a guide for those interested in historical reconstruction of the Argentine infantry: The Argentine infantry wore olive green pants with two pockets on the thighs, green shirt, jersey and M43 American type jacket ancestor is the Model 51 (Korea) and 65 (Viet Nam)
It was all very thick fabric, but not impervious to water and moisture, so characteristic of the Falklands. Note that the crowning touch on these pieces would be to wear the Israeli Bubon parka with hood and fabric sleeves with the M1 helmet and goggles for the more stereotypical look of an infantry soldier.
Most of the ground troops that Argentina deployed were young soldiers who were serving the country with compulsory military service. This is why they lacked gear, equipment and tactics of professional soldiers or special forces like the British .
Equipment:
It consisted of a full green leather harness consisting of: belt, carving 'H', two chargers FAL carries two units, carrying pouch and bayonet blade.
The least had the option of carrying the same equipment but in green nylon.
High boots with reinforced soles in the toe of good quality were even a part coveted by the very British troops.
The M1 helmet was the kind NATO and by that time was produced in large quantities in Argentina. This helmet could bring a more grounded in Woodland camouflage goggles widely used to counter the freezing cold in the eyes.
Uniform:
Any olive green pants with thigh pockets. 43 can be the model American. The jacket is a model 43 or 51 from the U.S. Army. There is a similar version that is Austrian.
Equipment:
Any carves "H", 70 years may be Spanish, American Canvas Model 56 (Nam) or the more modern but replaced the nylon, the model 67 of the U.S. Army as well.
Boots. Any high cane boot with eyelets or snaps.
Helmet. M1 with or without cover Woodland

M16.s were used by the SAS and the SBS (Special Boat Squadron). The British used the Colt/Armalite AR-15 5.56mm assault rifle in Malvinas. According to Chris McNab in "Modern Military Uniforms" the L1A1 was heavy and unwieldy for smaller men so often the Gurkhas used the US 5.56mm M16 assault rifle in Borneo and other British small wars.
