	Amphibious warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An early form of amphibious warfare was employed during the War of the Pacific in 1879, and saw coordination of army, navy and specialized units.
		The first amphibious assault of the war took place as 2,100 Chilean troops successfully took Pisagua from 1,200 Peruvian and Bolivian defenders on 2 November 1879.
		Arguably the most famous amphibious assault was the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, in which British, Canadian, French and US forces were landed at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword Beaches.

	Amphibious Forces - Navy Ships
		An amphibious operation is a military operation launched from the sea by naval and landing forces embarked in ships or craft involving a landing on a hostile or potentially hostile shore.

		It was a campaign handicapped not only by the island's fanatical defenders and the bitter Alaskan cold but also by the many miscalculations made by the Army itself.
		Yet this important campaign to take back U.S. soil, which witnessed the first American amphibious assault in the North Pacific as well as one of the first Japanese banzai attacks of the war, has been pushed into the background by many historians.
		Since a gale was pounding Attu at that time, the assault was postponed until May 9, and the convoy took off for the Bering Sea to avoid enemy detection.
