Amphibious assault infantry
Amphibious Assault Infantry are infantry that land by landing craft to secure a beachhead before transitioning to another force type depending on what (if any) vehicles are available to them.
Key Considerations
- Primary role is securing a beachhead
- Operates from landing craft during initial insertion
- Will transition to another force type after landing depending on available vehicles
- Requires coordination between landing craft and ground forces
Best Employment
- Establishing a beachhead for follow-on forces
- Initial coastal landings
- Operations where infantry must transition from sea insertion to ground operations
