BattleTech: Field Report 2765: DCMS

In 2765, the Star League Defense Force was the greatest military ever assembled, unparalleled in numbers and technological prowess--but it was not alone. The House Lords and the rules of the Territorial States in the Periphery each amassed armies of their own. While none of these powers alone could challenge the sheer size and might of the SLDF, each stood ready to defend their own interests against the avarice of their neighbors.

2765 Field Report: DCMS describes the state of House Kurita's Draconis Combine just before the events described in Historical: Liberation of Terra (Part 1), including the overall military and logistical condition of one of the Great Houses that would eventually survive the collapse of the Star League and face a new age of endless war.
