Haig, a mechanized BEF, and the limits of radio coordination

How might Haig have viewed the mechanized BEF of 1939-40?

The reply suggests that he would question its employment while valuing the communications needed to coordinate mechanized forces.

The question imagines Haig seeing the mechanized British Expeditionary Force of 1939-40. The response suggests that he would object more to its employment than to mechanization itself. Reliable radio is treated as crucial to making widely dispersed forces cooperate. His First World War plans are described as sometimes demanding more coordination and training than the available forces could deliver. The discussion also contrasts his ability to understand complicated material with the need to turn it into usable instructions for others.
