Alexander the great led his army across the Gedrosian Desert as part of his campaign to reach India after conquering Persia. The crossing was a strategic move to demonstrate his leadership and resilience, as well as to avoid enemy forces. However, the harsh conditions of the desert resulted in significant losses for his army, highlighting the extreme challenges they faced. This journey also served to solidify Alexander's reputation as a daring and ambitious leader.
Alexander the Great.
He was carrying out his assassinated father's (Philip II) plan to conquer the Persian Empire. The first phase of the plan was to defeat the western army of Persia in Asia Minor, and gain the money to pay his army and prepare for the next phase to take the Mediterranean seaboard to eliminate the Persian naval threat to Greece and Macedonia.

He took them home through the Gedrosian Desert as payback, and a combination of little food and water and attacks by the local tribes took a heavy toll.
