The History timeline of Flintlock Logistic Incorporated
1944
David Flint, 2nd lieutenant of the 6th Airlanding Brigade, 6th Airborne Division is wounded in action after stepping on a landmine following the air-invasion of the Netherlands during Operation Market-Garden. He is later discharged from military service due to the medical amputation of his right leg. Despite his injury, David continued to assist in the war-effort after being invited alongside other wounded veterans by The Royal Small Arms Factory of Enfield to help design infantry weapons and equipment. Their first hand experience became invaluable guidance for the brilliant minds of the designers, working day-in and day-out to produce war-winning firearms.
1955
Following the adoption of the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle, thousands of un-issued Lee Enfield Rifles and other war-time weapons were stored away in goverment warehouses. Sensing a good oppertunity, David alongside a few close associates from Enfield decided to purchase the rifles in bulk and sell them off to the Sudan Defence force; whom were involved in heavy fighting against anti-British insurgents during the First Sudancese Civil War. Despite the large importation of well regarded weapons entering SDF hands, the conflict would drag on for another sixteen years. During which time, David had continued to supply them with whatever unadopted firearms he could easily purchase from the British Goverment. It was during this moment of massive financial success that David Flint set up the company to be known as Flintlock Logistic Incorporated.
1982
With buisness and profits going through the roof, FLI expanded it's interests from small-arms to much larger military hardware. It was during the 1970s where the international market had bulked up massively with export variants of munitions, vehicles, equipment and weapons. The majority of which came from contracted companies to supply military forces. When the army was stocked up on whatever was needed, the extra supplies were either stockpiled for later use or handed over cheaply to suppliers that had the facilities to move the stock to protential buyers. FLI was no exception as they purchased several AM39 Exocet missiles from the Aérospatiale manufacturers and shipped them over to the Argentine Air-Force. This deal turned sour however because during the Battle of San Carlos between British War-ships and Argentinian Forces on the Falklands. Several of these missiles were launched from Argentine aircraft and killed many British Navy-men and women. Upon seeing the televised footage of HMS Antelope exploding after being engaged and heavily damaged by enemy aircraft. Founder, David Flint suffered a panic induced heart-attack and passed away on the sixth of June, 1982. Age Sixty-Three. The Falklands conflict would end eight days later with just over nine-hundred lives lost on all sides. To this day, the Falkland island's ownership is still contested, despite a overwhelming majority of Islanders wishing to remain part of the British Commonwealth.
1990
Because of the involvement of third-parties in delivering the lethal Exocet missiles to a country that killed British Personel. A major intelligence operation was initiated by the goverment to investigate FLI's motives and involvement in the 1982 conflict. With a increasing number of threats, riots and protests. Predominantly by infuriated families from those that had lost people in the war due to Argentine Air-raids. FLI was forced to close their main office in England and move assets to Malta. It's new head of office, Alfred Flint, David's son. Decided it was time to move away from mistakenly supporting Anti-British customers and instead focused their efforts on regaining the market's trust. During the beginning of the Gulf War in the middle-east, FLI ships and air-craft assisted alongside other transport groups to help deliver supplies and equipment from the United States to the State of Kuwait in accordance to the rebellion against the Iraqi annexation. Packages containing ammunition, food, water and other materials were dropped behind Iraqi lines by FLI air-craft. Not wanting to risk losing valuable equipment however, the supplies were not dropped until Coalition forces had destroyed the majority of Iraqi Aircraft and Anti-Air emplacements. Buisness was good again, whilst the export market was winding down due to the large amount of adequate stock, kept in reserves by many countries. The African theater once more began to heat up as the Sierra Leone Civil War had almost finished. Sensing a good oppertunity, FLI sent buyers to purchase tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles, helicopters, weapons, body-armour and just about anything surplused after the conflict. With their warehouses stuffed with cheap, varied stock. It was easy going for the company to keep turning a profit.
2020
With many smaller wars came and gone, FLI inventory had grown beyond capacity. Leading to many departments and offices being set-up across the globe. This was done to quickly fulfill orders that come in, it's easier to transport objects from one side of the country to another than it is to traverse the oceans. A special interest was placed with keeping the aircraft and container ships as modernized as possible, even if the machines themselves date back to the Soviet-era. As the cold-war between China and The US grew warmer by the minute, it was decided by the head office to increase the number of hired-personel and prepare for all kinds of orders to flood in. With it's main offices in Malta and Singapore, Flintlock Logistic Incorporated stands in a very profitable postion in both the European and Asian markets.
