The importance of clearing enemy counterattack routes before advancing.
The need for better infantry support for armored units.
The importance of maintaining unit cohesion and following orders.
Additional Notes:

The operation was a success in achieving its objective of driving the enemy from eastern Cham.
However, the operation was also marked by significant friendly casualties, including the loss of two rifle squads and the task force commander.
The corps operations staff concluded that the commander's decision to move immediately from Albernhof to Hirschhof was a grave error, as the areas from which the enemy counterattacks were coming were not cleared and the occupying force was not prepared to defend.
This report recommends that future operations ensure that enemy counterattack routes are cleared before advancing, that armored units have adequate infantry support, and that units maintain cohesion and follow orders.
