Amphibious Operations

Amphibious operations refer to military missions conducted by forces that launch an attack from the sea onto land. These operations typically involve a combination of naval and ground troops, utilizing ships to transport soldiers, equipment, and supplies to the shore. The goal is to establish a beachhead, allowing for further military advancement. Such operations require careful planning, coordination, and execution, as they must address challenges like enemy defenses, logistics, and environmental factors. Historical examples include the D-Day invasion during World War II, which showcased the effectiveness of combining naval and land forces in a strategic assault.
