Operation Bulldog was the military codename for the phase of the Star League offensive against Clan Smoke Jaguar in 3059 that was aimed at liberating that Clan's Occupation Zone in the Inner Sphere. Led by Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht and Archon-Prince Victor Steiner-Davion, the assault succeeded beyond their most optimistic hopes, thanks in large part to a lack of preparedness on the part of the Jaguars and a lack of help from their fellow Clans.
The operation's forces went under the flag of the new Star League Defense Forces. The force included a large quality of the Draconis Combine army and newly claimed bondsmen of the Clan Nova Cat, whom in secret, defected to the Star League.
An earlier military operation, Operation Bird Dog, had paved the way for Operation Bulldog by softening Smoke Jaguar garrison forces.
