Could the Levant support additional cavalry?

Was there enough infrastructure in the Levant to support the proposed extra cavalry?

The discussion raises serious water, fodder, and infrastructure concerns but gives no quantified capacity assessment.

The question asks whether the proposed reinforcements could obtain enough support, especially water. Steve says a demonstrated logistical limit would change his view of the transfer. The participant raising the question also explicitly disclaims expertise in horse cavalry. The subsequent discussion points to poor inland infrastructure, fodder pressure, and the demands of keeping horses supplied. Comparisons with African campaigns introduce disease and the suitability of imported animals. The passage identifies constraints that need assessment rather than calculating how many additional troops the theater could sustain.
