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
