A lesson learned in the Desert campaign was that it was better to have a small mobile force than a large slow force.

Another interesting issue is that an Armd. div is more wounrable to shelling than the infantry div. The logistics for the Armd. div is all soft skinned. 10th Armd div feared that they would be cut off from their supplies if they attempted to break out early during Lightfoot.
