Amphibious warfare is a military operation that involves the movement of forces from sea to land. This type of warfare combines naval and ground forces to conduct assaults on coastal areas, allowing for the capture of territory and strategic positions. It requires careful planning and coordination between different branches of the military. Key components of amphibious warfare include landing craft, which transport troops and equipment, and naval support, which provides firepower and protection during landings. Successful amphibious operations often rely on intelligence, logistics, and the element of surprise to overcome enemy defenses and establish a foothold on land.
