Following Kilo Company's helicopter flight forward on the night of 31 May/1 June to reinforce D Squadron 22nd Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment defending Mount Kent from Argentinian Special Forces attacks, the rest of 42 Commando arrived in helicopters, and were eventually ordered to secure Mount Challenger.

45 Commando's march to Bluff Cove Peak from San Carlos Water via Teal Inlet ended on 4 June, and the next week was spent patrolling No-Man's-Land, leading to a number of bloody clashes with the Argentinians. On their second patrol, Lieutenant Chris Fox's Recce Troop reached the end of Two Sisters, and when discovered, were counterattacked but killed five of the Argentinians. Later, Lieutenant David Stewart 3 Troop of X-Ray Company, 45 Commando retreated in a similar action, and Lieutenant Mark Townsends's 1 Troop from Kilo Company, 42 Commando had raided the main Argentine positions on Mount Harriet from Goat Ridge. Also, Sergeant Ian Allum's Recce Platoon and other men of the 2nd Scots Guards Battalion completed the mapping out of the Argentinian positions by patrolling from their hide in Port Harriet House. Sadly these successes did not come without loss. On the night of 9–10 June a fighting patrol from Yankee Company stumbled upon a forward mortar camp killing four of the sleeping Royal Marines.

45 Commando's march to Bluff Cove Peak from San Carlos Water via Teal Inlet ended on June 4th, and the next week was spent patrolling No-Man's-Land, leading to a number of bloody clashes with the Argentinians. On their second patrol, Lieutenant Chris Fox's Recce Troop reached the western end of Two Sisters, and when discovered, were counterattacked but killed five of the Argentinians. Later, Lieutenant David Stewart 3 Troop of ''X-Ray'' Company, 45 Commando retreated in a similar action, abandoning much equipment, and Lieutenant Mark Townsends's 1 Troop from ''Kilo'' Company, 42 Commando had raided the forward Argentinian positions on Mount Harriet from Goat Ridge. Also, Sergeant Ian Allum's Recce Platoon from the 2nd Scots Guards Battalion completed their mapping out of the Argentinian positions from their cover in Port Harriet House. Sadly these successes did not come without loss. On the night of June 9th a fighting patrol from ''Yankee'' Company was caught between the machinegun fire of Argentinian Special Forces and supporting mortarmen near Murrell River, resulting in the deaths of four Royal Marines.

45 Commando's night attack would also be silent without any preliminary artillery fire. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitehead's plan was for X-Ray Company to leave their start line at 9.00 pm, and having taken the south western peak (''Long Toenail'') around two hours later, to set up a fire support base that included 40 Commando's Milan Troop. Zulu Company would then assault the northern peak (''Summer Days''), and Y Company the eastern end of Two Sisters.

On 11 June, 45 Commando less X-Ray Company left their positions behind Mount Kent and moving around the north side, reached the main start line (''Pub Garden'') as planned. Meanwhile, X-Ray Company, marching down between Mount's Kent and Challenger and heavily weighed down, especially by the Milans, arrived at the start line over two hours late. After a short rest, they began their move towards ''Long Toenail'' at 11.00 pm.
