Amphibious Warfare Doctrine

Amphibious warfare doctrine refers to the strategy and tactics used by military forces to conduct operations that involve both land and sea elements. It focuses on landing troops and equipment on hostile shores from naval vessels, enabling swift assaults and securing beachheads. This approach combines naval power with ground forces to achieve strategic objectives, often using air support as well. Key principles include surprise, mobility, and coordination among various military branches. Successful amphibious operations require thorough planning, training, and logistics to navigate the challenges of transitioning between sea and land combat environments.
