Falklands: MOD minutes of MOD Chiefs of Staff Committee - COS 5th Meeting/82 (0830Z) (intelligence assessment, own forces, public relations, decisions required, SSN rules of engagement, military appreciation, withdrawal from Belize, use of Gurkhas with 5 Infantry Brigade) [full text, including list of attendees] [declassified Aug 2017]

0830Z = 0930 BST. The covering page for this minute seems to be in error - the 5th meeting took place at 0830Z on Monday 5 April, not Wednesday 7 April. Patrick Wright's note of the 5 April meeting, which can be read here, confirms the fact. Copies of the COS meetings during the Falklands which became available in 2012 can be found also in FCO7, and are on this site, but those versions contain the confidential annexes only. The full versions became available five years later. Read other COS material on this site.
