amphibious warfare
Sea-to-shore combat
Amphibious warfare is military operations that coordinate naval and land forces to attack from the sea onto hostile shores.
The assault typically involves transporting troops by ship, then landing them on beaches using specialized craft, supported by naval gunfire and air cover.
The D-Day invasion of Normandy remains the most famous example: Amphibious warfare requires precise timing between sea, air, and ground elements.
