Amphibious Raid

An amphibious raid is a military operation that involves landing troops on an enemy coastline, typically using ships and landing craft. The goal is to execute a surprise attack, often targeting enemy installations or resources, before quickly withdrawing. Unlike full-scale invasions, amphibious raids are usually limited in size and duration, aiming to achieve specific objectives without establishing a lasting foothold. This tactic combines elements of naval and ground warfare, making it effective for disrupting enemy operations while minimizing risk and commitment of forces. It leverages the element of surprise and the mobility of naval forces.
