Of course. I was only objecting to the idea of moving a whole mass of
units as a group around permanently.

In addition to what I wrote previously there is also the matter of not
exploiting the faster movement of some units, who can more easily move
from one battlefield to another, thereby increasing the total firepower
available in each battle. A group of units moving in tandem will have to
move at the pace of the slowest unit.
