Too much background?

I question why such a long background is needed, especially the action concerning Henderson Field, when this article is just about an action at the end of the Guadalcanal campaign. Why not just shorten it and then link to the main Guadalcanal article? Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 23:19, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
