Title	Amphibious landings and the small wars manual.
Author	Johnson, Harold D.
Abstract	Amphibious warfare is the use of naval firepower, logistics and strategy to project military power ashore. In previous years, it stood as the primary method of delivering troops unto non-contiguous enemy-held terrain. ….today amphibious warfare persists in the form of commando insertion by fast patrol boats, and mini-submersibles. In the modern times of warfare, an amphibious landing of infantry troops on a beachhead is the most complex of all military maneuvers. The responsibility requires an intricate coordination of numerous military specialties, including air power, naval gunfire, naval transport, logistical planning, specialized equipment, land warfare, tactics, and extensive training in the nuances of this maneuver for all personnel involved. (“Amphibious Warfare”, 2008, para 1).
