Naval Beach Unit

A Naval Beach Unit (NBU) is a specialized team within the U.S. Navy focused on supporting amphibious operations, where military forces land on beaches to engage in combat. These units are responsible for securing and managing beach landings, ensuring a smooth transfer of troops, vehicles, and supplies from ships to shore. They handle logistics, provide communication support, and may conduct riverine or coastal security missions. Essentially, NBUs help establish a foothold on land, enabling larger military forces to move in and operate effectively during operations that involve both land and sea.
