Multiple Choice

In an amphibious operation, which phase follows planning?

Planning sets up the mission, assigns units, and lays out how actions will unfold. The next phase is embarkation, where troops, vehicles, and equipment are loaded onto ships or landing craft and staged for transport. This step is essential because you can’t move to the objective or conduct the assault without physically getting the forces into position and ensuring load plans, communications, and sequencing are in place. Rehearsals typically follow or occur during embarkation to validate the plan and synchronize timing, then the force proceeds with movement to the objective and the assault.
