Concept of Amphibious OperationsPHASES OF AN AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONPLANNINGThe planning phase normally denotes the period extending from the issuanceof an order that directs the operation to take place and ends with theembarkation of landing forces. However, planning is continuous throughoutthe operation. Although planning does not cease with the termination of thisphase, it is useful to distinguish between the planning phase and subsequentphases because of the change that may occur in the relationship betweenamphibious force commanders at the time the planning phase terminates andthe operational phase begins.EMBARKATIONThe embarkation phase is the period during which the landing forces, withtheir equipment and supplies, embark in assigned shipping. The organizationfor embarkation needs to provide for flexibility to support changes to theoriginal plan. The landing plan and scheme of maneuver ashore are based onconditions and enemy capabilities existing in the operational area beforeembarkation of the landing force. A change in conditions of friendly or enemyforces during the movement phase may cause changes in either plan with noopportunity for reconfiguration of the landing force. The extent to whichchanges in the landing plan can be accomplished may depend on the ability toreconfigure embarked forces.REHEARSALThe rehearsal phase is the period during which the prospective operation isrehearsed for the purpose of:Testing the adequacy of plans, timing of detailed operations, and combatreadiness of participating forcesEnsuring that all echelons are familiar with plansProviding an opportunity to reconfigure embarked forces and equipmentRehearsal may consist of an actual landing or may be conducted as acommand post exercise.MOVEMENTThe movement phase is the period during which various elements of theamphibious force move from points of embarkation or from a forwarddeployedposition to the operational area. This move may be via rehearsal,staging, or rendezvous areas. The movement phase is completed when thevarious elements of the amphibious force arrive at their assigned positions inthe operational area.ACTIONThe decisive action phase is the period from the arrival of the amphibiousforce in the operational area, through the accomplishment of the mission andthe termination of the amphibious operation.Figure I-1.

Assignment of an operational area asappropriate.e. Assignment of tasks.f. Assignment of responsibility andprovision of necessary coordinatinginstructions for the conduct of supportingoperations.g. Target dates for execution of theoperation.h. Additional coordinating instructions, asrequired.8. Termination of anAmphibious OperationThe termination of the amphibiousoperation is predicated on the accomplishmentof the amphibious mission in accordance withthe specific conditions contained in the orderinitiating the amphibious operation. Uponcompletion of the amphibious operation,the establishing authority will provideinstructions as required for commandarrangements and assignment ofamphibious forces.I-8JP 3-02
