amphibious landings
Amphibious landings involve military operations where forces transition from sea to land, typically using ships and landing craft. This strategy allows troops, vehicles, and supplies to be transported across water and deployed on hostile beaches. Successful amphibious landings require careful planning, coordination, and often surprise, as they can face opposition from defending forces. They are a key tactic in warfare, enabling forces to seize territory and establish a presence in enemy territory. Historical examples include D-Day during World War II and the Inchon landing in the Korean War.
