The British forces' moral superiority over the defenders was established after the victory at Goose Green, and this position fueled the ground advance up until Argentine forces finally submitted on the entire Falkland Islands a little over two weeks later.

The fighting showed that the CO was a strict CO who had to complete control over every aspect and demanded his company commanders to not stray from the battle plan.
