Other Long-range Operations in The Region
Although compromised, Operation Salaam is notable as one of the few Axis operations that mirrored the important Long Range Desert Group activities in the Libyan desert during the North African campaign. The Italian Auto-Saharan Companies (Compagnie Auto-Avio-Sahariane - a desert patrol group formed on three to five companies with various vehicles customised for desert operations and integrated air support, and sometimes referred to as La Compagnia), was a long-lived unit that harassed SAS and LRDG operations up until Allied victory in Libya and Tunisia.
