Pihak British menghalang kemaraan kedua tentera Paksi kedalam Mesir. Kedudukan tentera Paksi berhampiran El Alamein, hanya 66 bt (106 km) dari Iskandariah, dekat dengan pelabuhan dan bandar-bandar Mesir, fasiliti pangkalan tentera komanwel dan Terusan Suez. Bagaimanapun, tentera Paksi terlalu jauh dari pangkalan mereka di Tripoli, Libya untuk kekal lama di El Alamein, yang membawa kedua-dua belah pihak untuk mengumpul bekalan bagi serangan seterusnya, dibatasi kekangan masa dan jarak.
