Operation Talented Duelist was the umbrella campaign under which all counterinsurgency and indigenous suppression operations conducted by the UNSC Defense Force on the foundry world of Dashan in the MOA-2007-BLG-192L System were coordinated under between 2560—2570. The Talented Duelist campaign was nominally overseen by the UNSC Joint Forces Command, which is doctrinally responsible for all major multiservice UNSC military operations above the division level; however, at an operational scale, the majority of Talented Duelist-sanctioned operations were conducted by special operations forces of the UNSC Special Operations Command, including those of the Naval Special Commando Unit.

In line with the UNSC's unfailingly standardized procedure for assignment of codewords, the majority of operational objectives in Operation Talented Duelist were named after fencing-related terms—such as Objective Riposte; Objective Parry; and Objective En Garde.

One salient counterinsurgency operation of interest undertaken under the purview of Operation Talented Duelist concerned the deployment of two NSCU field teams—Team Jian and Team Glaive—from the recently-activated Contingency Operating Base Valiant to reconnoiter for contraband fuel rod weapons smuggled by the indigenous Unggoy.
