amphibious capability
Amphibious capability refers to the ability of military forces to operate on both land and water effectively. This typically involves specialized units, vehicles, and equipment designed to transition seamlessly between these two environments. For example, amphibious ships can launch operations that involve landing troops and vehicles on a coastline, while also being able to navigate open waters. This capability is crucial for projection of military power, enabling forces to engage in operations where traditional ground or naval only strategies may be inadequate, such as in coastal or island scenarios.
