One thought is that you do not have to carry all the poles required, either man or mule.
One of the first things you do when deploying military camouflague is go and forage for suitable lengths of wood as straight as nature will allow. They are then discarded when you move on, or perhaps in ths instance, chopped into smaller peices and used for fire wood for the next stop on the march.
Perhaps not such a good idea in a desert environment when there is not much natural forest avaiable, but certainly applicable to European campagining.
Or you sling your tent up in the trees...
