Seeking to take advantage of the [[Federated Suns]]' preoccupation with invasion of the [[Draconis Combine]] during the [[War of 3039]], McCarron's Armored Cavalry launched a series of deep raids into Davion space, leaving the newly formed and untested [[Sixth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] behind to defend Menke.<ref name=HWo39-123>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 123: "Capellan Operations - The Mac Attack"</ref>

Upon realizing the MAC were solely responsible for the incursion into FedSuns space, [[Duke of New Syrtis|Duke]] [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] ordered a strike against Menke be included as part of [[CASE JULIET]], the [[AFFS]]'s retaliatory attack for the MAC's raids, selecting the mercenary regiments of the [[Illician Lancers]] and elements of the [[Sirdar Capellan March Militia]] for the task.<ref name=HWo39-128>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 128–129: "Countering the Big Mac - Menke (August-September)"</ref>

While the defending [[aerospace fighter]]s of the Sixth fought hard to prevent the Davion taskforce from landing, the FedSun fighters successfully fending off the bulk at the cost of half its fighters, the combined mercenary-CMM force grounding near Johenessburg less than a hundred kilometers from the Big Mac's main base at Fort McCarron. While the drop now left the Sixth with superior aerospace power, the Davion taskforce heavily outnumbered them with regards to BattleMechs, the Sixth's chances were further hampered when Colonel Baxter refused to order the planet's powerful militia to mobilize until after the FedSun troops landed.<ref name=HWo39-128/>
