Amphibious Task Force

An Amphibious Task Force (ATF) is a military group composed of naval and ground forces designed to conduct operations that involve launching attacks from the sea onto land. This specialized unit includes ships, landing craft, and troops, allowing for flexible and quick deployment in various environments. The ATF is essential for executing missions that require the ability to move forces from water to land, such as humanitarian aid, rescue operations, or combat. By combining the strengths of the Navy and Marine Corps, the ATF can effectively project power and respond to crises swiftly.
