From a purely military perspective, the "Knight Jump" operation can be categorized as one of those operations characterized by "overcommitment."
In a mountainous region that could not even be considered a secondary strategic direction—devoid of significant resources or notable transportation hubs, with rebellious natives, backwards economy, almost non-existent industry, and agricultural production barely sufficient for self-sustenance—a large amount of elite combat forces are deployed—regardless of how small that number is compared to the total standing army. The disproportion between investment and return is indisputable.
