Something else I just remembered. When I was researching the German III Army offensive, I worked out that the Marines would have to land in a number of locations. I think it averaged out that they wouldn't be able to mass more than about 200 men per location to get the needed coverage.

200 men in T2K, backed with a handful of AFVs and engineers is a serious force, especially given time to dig in amongst the ruins.
