Operation Galvanic

Operation Galvanic was the secret code name for the U.S. military's 1944 mission to deploy special underwater demolition teams and reconnaissance units in the Philippines during World War II. Its goal was to prepare the way for larger military operations by scouting and sabotaging Japanese-held territories, ensuring safer advances for Allied forces. Essentially, it involved covert missions to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage to weaken enemy defenses before full-scale attacks.
