It was a large scale amphibious and airborne operation, followed by six weeks of land combat. It launched the Italian Campaign. Elements of the Division were used to form the incomplete 230th Coastal Division. Coastal divisions, were second line divisions, usually formed from men in their forties and fifties intended to perform labouring and second line duties. Recruited locally they were often commanded by officers called out of retirement. Their equipment was also second rate; Mussolini had hoped to obtain large quantities of arms and equipment from the disbanded Vichy French army, but this had often been sabotaged of arrived with no ammunition.
