How did the United States support Britain during the Falkland Islands War?

Following unsuccessful mediation attempts, the United States provided full support to its NATO ally, Great Britain, during the Falkland Islands War.12

This support included:

• Military Supplies: The U.S. allowed Britain to utilize its air-to-air missiles, aviation fuel, communications equipment, and other military stockpiles located on British-held Ascension Island.1
• Intelligence: The United States cooperated with British military intelligence and provided critical data from American reconnaissance satellites.12

While the United States was initially torn between its loyalty to Britain and the desire to avoid antagonizing South American nations, it ultimately prioritized its alliance with the United Kingdom once diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute failed.2
