The Arabs were probably the first organized force to conduct successful battles in the desert. By knowing back routes and the locations of oases and by utilizing camels, Muslim Arab forces were able to successfully overcome both Roman and Persian forces in the period 600 to 700 AD during the [[Early Muslim conquests|expansion of the Islamic caliphate]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/muslimwars/articles/yarmuk.aspx |title=The Battle Of Yarmuk, 636 |author=Fratini, Dan |year=2006 |publisher=MilitaryHistoryOnline.com |accessdate=2014-11-29}}</ref>

Many centuries later, both world wars saw fighting in the desert. In the [[First World War]], the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Turkey|Turks]] were engaged with the British regular army in a campaign that spanned the Arabian peninsula. The Turks were defeated by the British, who had the backing of irregular Arab forces that were seeking to [[Arab Revolt|revolt]] against the Turks in the [[Kingdom of Hejaz|Hejaz]], made famous in [[T.E. Lawrence]]'s book ''[[Seven Pillars of Wisdom]]''.<ref>{{cite book | title=Seven Pillars of Wisdom | publisher=Private edition | author=Lawrence, T.E. | year=1922 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | title=The Arab Revolt 1916–18: Lawrence Sets Arabia Ablaze | publisher=Osprey |isbn=978-1-84603-339-1| author=Murphy, David | year=2008}}</ref>

In the [[Second World War]], the [[Western Desert Campaign]] began in [[Italian Libya]]. Warfare in the desert offered great scope for tacticians to use the large open spaces without the distractions of casualties among civilian populations. [[Tank]]s and [[Armoured fighting vehicle|armoured vehicles]] were able to travel large distances unimpeded and [[land mine]]s were laid in large numbers. However, the size and harshness of the terrain meant that all supplies needed to be brought in from great distances. The victors in a battle would advance and their [[supply chain]] would necessarily become longer, while the defeated army could retreat, regroup and resupply. For these reasons, the [[front line]] moved back and forth through hundreds of kilometers as each side lost and regained momentum.<ref name=Woolley>{{cite journal |author=Woolley, Jo |year=2008 |title=Desert warfare |journal=History Today |volume=52 |issue=10 |url=http://www.historytoday.com/jo-woolley/desert-warfare }}</ref> Its most easterly point was at [[El Alamein]] in [[Egypt]], where the Allies decisively defeated the Axis forces in 1942.<ref>{{cite book | title=Alamein | publisher=John Murray | author=Latimer, Jon | year=2002 | isbn=978-0-7195-6203-7}}</ref>
