Coast Guard amphibious operations

Coast Guard amphibious operations involve deploying personnel and equipment from ships to land, often during search-and-rescue, law enforcement, or disaster response missions. These operations require coordinated use of vessels, small boats, helicopters, and landing craft to access coastal or inland areas inaccessible by land vehicles. The Coast Guard integrates maritime and land capabilities to respond quickly to emergencies, enforce laws, or conduct environmental protection efforts. Effective amphibious operations enhance the Coast Guard’s ability to operate across diverse environments, ensuring safety, security, and resource protection along coastlines, rivers, and other waterway zones.
