With the Rim Worlds Republic in a state of civil war from [[2575]] onward, the [[Star League]] was forced to send troops to restore the authority of [[First Consul of the Rim Worlds Republic|First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]]. The operation was named [[Operation MAILED FIST]] and began with a troop buildup along the border between the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and the Rim Worlds Republic; in [[2579]] military operations began, and Treeline was one of the first targets. Anticipating a quick victory over the [[Eighth Amaris Dragoons]], who had sided with the [[Rim Provisional Government]], the [[Star League Defense Force]] deployed the [[Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] to conquer Treeline.<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Persistence, Treeline, Star's End and Black Earth (May-December 2581)</ref>

The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game [[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]], set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of 1.150 billion for Winfield and describes the environment as "tropical" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert", "ice", or "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Agricultural world with long growing season."{{ApocryphalContentEnd}}

The deployment of the Sixteenth was deliberately provocative, as the SLDF wanted to gauge the abilities of the Republican forces; the initial landings were uncontested, with the Sixteenth quickly seizing Felsonville and with it Treeline's administration and communication hubs. The Eighth Dragoons refused to surrender to the Sixteenth and instead began a campaign of raids against the more numerous Sixteenth; while the Sixteenth had the advantage of both numbers and actual [[BattleMech]] forces, the Eighth—being a regiment consisting of infantry and armor—used their knowledge of the local terrain and their significant light armor forces to repeatedly launch quick strikes. The Eighth's campaign extended the battle for control of Treeline significantly beyond the SLDF's initial estimate of three weeks; it was three months before the SLDF felt that it had control of the worlds, and it was late December—a full seven months since the initial occupation of Felsonville—before the last Republican organized forces were rounded up.<ref name="H:RWp132"/>

Winfield was conquered by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] during the First Wave of [[Operation Revival]] in March [[3050]]. The [[5th Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|Fifth Battle Cluster]] faced off against [[Winfield's Regiment]] and the [[Winfield Militia Brigade]], although faulty intelligence cause the Jade Falcons to underestimate their opponents. This resulted in the Clan's landing zones being surrounded and almost overrun by the defenders, with the tide of battle being turned after [[Star Colonel]] [[Evak Mattlov]] managed to break through the enemy lines with a team of [[Elementals]]. Forced to make an orderly retreat, Winfield's Regiment managed to organize the surviving militia into an effective resistance movement before escaping off-world.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37</ref>

In [[3052]], [[Winfield's Brigade]] raided Winfield with the official objective to destroy the [[Kerensky Munitions and Armaments]] factory that the Falcons had constructed by refitting the old [[Fairfield Munitions]] plant and with the hidden objective of rescuing those prisoners still interned by the Jade Falcons. Using deception, and using a ''[[Batchall|batchall]]'' as bait, the unit was able to success in both objectives.<ref name="CTp47">''ClanTroops'', pp. 47–49: "Retribution"</ref>

Winfield was conquered by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] during the First Wave of [[Operation Revival]] in March 3050. The [[5th Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|5th Battle Cluster]] faced off against [[Winfield's Regiment]] and the [[Winfield Militia Brigade]], although faulty intelligence cause the Jade Falcons to underestimate their opponents. This resulted in the Clan's landing zones being surrounded and almost overrun by the defenders, with the tide of battle being turned after [[Star Colonel]] [[Evak Mattlov]] managed to break through the enemy lines with a team of [[Elementals]].  Forced to make an orderly retreat, Winfield's Regiment managed to organize the surviving militia into an effective resistance movement before escaping off-world.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37</ref>

Two years later, Winfield was briefly gifted to [[Clan Hell's Horses]] as part of a pact between them and the Falcons.<ref name=WOR175/> However, the planet was apparently reclaimed by the Falcons just one year later and remained under Falcon control for at least another decade.<ref name="JS:TBDp64/><ref name="FM:3085pvii"/>

In [[3052]], [[Winfield's Brigade]] raided '''Winfield''' with the official objective to destroy the [[Kerensky Munitions and Armaments]] factory that the Falcons had constructed by refitting the old Fairfield Munitions plant and with the hidden objective of rescuing those prisoners still interned by the Jade Falcons. Using deception, and using a ''[[Batchall|batchall]]'' as bait, the unit was able to success in both objectives.<ref name="CTp47">''[[ClanTroops]]'', p. 47-49, "Retribution"</ref>

The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'', set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of 1.150 billion for Winfield and describes the environment as "tropical" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Agricultural world with long growing season."
