Doctrine for Joint Amphibious Operations

Doctrine for Joint Amphibious Operations provides a strategic framework guiding how different military branches—such as the Navy, Marine Corps, and Army—coordinate to carry out amphibious missions. These operations involve launching forces from ships to land in an objective area, often to seize or defend key positions. The doctrine emphasizes planning, communication, and integration to ensure coordinated efforts during complex maneuvers from sea to land. It aims to maximize effectiveness, minimize risks, and adapt to various operational environments, enabling joint forces to operate seamlessly and achieve mission success in amphibious combat scenarios.
