The biggest overlap that I recall is that the advanced rules for Salvaging and Maintenance are in Strategic Operations, so if you want to play the campaign variant where you carefully manage the TO&E of a unit, you might want Strat Ops as well. Campaign Ops consists mostly of a series of possible frameworks you could use as the structure of a campaign, and they are generally self sufficient enough frameworks.

You don't strictly NEED the whole set to have each individual book to operate, though sometimes they will refer to each other for some specific concepts. Basically the entire "_ Operations" series of books are a collection of interlocking advanced or special rules that supplement the base gameplay rules in Total Warfare and/or the Battlemech Manual. The Battletech "Core Rule Books" are kinda weird.
