Naval Riverine Warfare

Naval Riverine Warfare refers to the specialized military operations conducted in rivers, coastal areas, and other inland waterways. This type of warfare combines naval tactics with ground forces to secure and control these environments, often in support of counterinsurgency or stabilization efforts. It involves using small boats, amphibious vehicles, and troops trained to navigate and operate in challenging waterborne terrains. The primary goal is to ensure freedom of movement, protect vital waterways, and engage enemy forces that may use rivers for cover. This strategy is crucial in regions where conventional naval forces may be less effective.
