Amphibious landings are military operations where forces land on a coastline from the sea. These operations typically involve a combination of naval and ground troops, using ships to transport soldiers and equipment to the shore. The goal is to establish a beachhead, allowing for further troop deployment and support. Successful amphibious landings require careful planning and coordination. They often involve reconnaissance to assess enemy positions and terrain. Historical examples include the D-Day invasion during World War II, where Allied forces landed in Normandy, France, to begin liberating Europe from Nazi control.
