The conclusion calls for an honest account of what disappears when a force is cut. A small ship or lightly equipped detachment may arrive quickly, but it is not equivalent to delivering a larger formation with its heavy equipment. A strategy-game analogy shows the operational risk: a fast light unit that becomes pinned may lack the firepower and protection needed to disengage. A more balanced medium force sacrifices some lightness but retains more options once opposition appears.

Light speed cannot replace combat power
Small forward units offer speed and presence, but they cannot substitute for formations able to move heavy equipment, survive contact, and break out when pinned down.
