CONTROL AREASLine of Departure (LOD)The assault wave control areas (fig. 12-5) of anamphibious assault are discussed in the followingparagraphs.The LOD is a designated line offshoreapproximately parallel to the landing beach. From thisline the successive assault waves are dispatched forFigure 12-5.—Example of an assault wave diagram.12-6
their final movement to the beach. When landingbeaches are separated, each beach has its own LOD,which may be marked by a ship or ships of the controlorganization or by boats or buoys. In some landingsthe LOD may not be marked.Boat LanesBoat lanes extend seaward from the landing beachto the LOD. The length of the landing beachdetermines the width of the boat lane. The flanks ofthe boat lane may be marked at the LOD by a controlship, a marker boat, or a buoy.Approach LanesApproach lanes are extensions of the boat lanesfrom the LOD towards the transport area. They maybe terminated by marker ships, boats, or buoys.Adjacent approach lanes may be parallel or maydiverge seaward to provide for early dispersion of theassault waves. Approach lanes indicate the exactroutes for craft to use in approaching the LOD.IDENTIFICATION OFDEBARKATION STATIONSThere is a maximum of ten debarkation stations,five on the starboard side and five on the port side,each identified by color and number (odd-numbered,starboard; even-numbered, port).
