Amphibious Reconnaissance

Amphibious reconnaissance is a military operation where specialized teams gather information about enemy positions, terrain, and conditions both on land and in water. This type of reconnaissance is crucial in amphibious warfare, where forces launch attacks from sea to land. These teams typically use small boats or helicopters to insert themselves near the enemy's coastline, collecting intelligence that helps plan attacks or landings. By understanding the environment and enemy defenses, commanders can make informed decisions, increasing the chances of a successful operation while minimizing risks to their troops.
