The Battle of Mount Kent and Top Malo House in late May 1982 cost the lives of eleven members of Argentina's Special Forces, including a Blue Beret (Senior Lieutenant Luis Darío José Castagnari) from the Argentinian Air Force's Special Operations Group ('Grupo de Operaciones Especiales' or GOE) at Stanley Airbase that was killed and another four Blue Berets wounded when hit by a Seaslug missile that the British light cruiser HMS 'Glamorgan' fired in the surface-to-surface role while the Argentinian Air Force Commandos were protecting the Skyguard fire-control radars from the 601st Air Defence Artillery Regiment and preparing to take part in the helicopter-borne offensive and seize Smoko Mount. Ten British Commandos and Paratroopers (4 M&AWC, 4 SAS, 1 Paratrooper from 3 PARA and 1 gunner from the Royal Marine Artillery Regiment (Van Rooyen<ref>[https://postimg.cc/18J4qhcx The National Archives]</ref>) were wounded or injured, but five British Commandos were soon killed as a result of [[Friendly fire]] on the lower slopes of Mount Kent.

Unknown to the Argentinian Army Special Forces, the Battle of Mount Kent and Top Malo House had tied down a significant part of the available SAS and M&AWC Commandos, leaving only a handful of Captain Rod Boswell's men on Mount Smoko to keep watch of the Argentinian outpost guarding the bridge connecting Bluff Cove and Fitzroy Settlements while the rest recovered and the SAS got ready to deploy on West Falkland.<ref>By Sea, By Land The Royal Marines, 1919-1997, James D.
