Why Falklands landing craft could not be treated like trucks

Why would Douglas Haig have struggled with the Falklands campaign?

The campaign demanded amphibious experience and disciplined control of a tiny landing-craft pool, not the assumptions of a large continental transport system.

Cold War land logistics trained officers to requisition another truck from a very large pool when a movement requirement appeared. In the Falklands, a landing craft looked like a truck that happened to travel on water, but only about a dozen suitable craft were operationally available. Reassigning one craft removed it from unloading ships and immediately affected the rest of the amphibious plan. The example shows why Julian Thompson and Jeremy Moore's experience mattered and why a brigade prepared for continental NATO operations could struggle with maritime scarcity.
