As the 3rd Commando Brigade concetrated on the hills opposite of the Argentine Outer Defense, they sent out nightly patrols. These patrols had multiple functions. The engineers were tasked with finding Argentine minefields and creating lanes through them. Fighting patrols of up to platoon size were sent to probe the Argentine defenses and, if possible, bring back prisoners. The Special Forces continued to position small patrols in hides behind enemy lines were they could observe Argentine activity in areas that were not visible to the main British positions.
The Argentines used their commandos for the majority of their patrol work. The commandos were tasked with gathering intelligence and trying to prevent the British from doing the same. The regular infantry was mainly used to guard the engineers as they tried to extend the minefields in front of their positions.
Several skirmishes occurred during the nights leading up to the British assaults on the Outer Defense. On the night of June 8/9, 1st Troop of K Company was tasked with conducting a fighting patrol towards the northwest slopes of Mount Harriet. While the marines were keeping the Argentineans busy, two patrols from AMWC hoped to slip through enemy lines and find hides on Goat Ridge where they could observe the rear of Mount Harriet and Two Sisters. Engineers, meanwhile, continued to plot the location of minefields and try to clear paths through them. At the same time, the Argentineans had elements of 601 Commando Company on a counter-recon patrol and engineers working on the minefields in front of Mount Harriet. It was going to be a busy night.
Only the AMWC patrols should use the exit objectives as this represents them finding their hides.
