Naval gunfire support, STEVEDORE. III Amphibious Corps report on Guam operation, naval gunfire.
No full textThe III Amphibious Corps captured and occupied Guam during the period 21 July 1944 to 10 August 1944. The assigned task was successfully accomplished with a minimum of difficulty. Enclosures A to M describe the details of the operation. The size and nature of the terrain at Stevedore together with lack of knowledge as to the enemy's exact disposition of troops presented a problem in the employment of naval gunfire. To furnish a study of gunfire support that may be of use in future operations of like nature, the complete report of gunfire support follows and is divided into five phases: planning and rehearsal; preliminary operations; W-Day bombardment; call fires and night programs; and deep support
Is sea-basing a viable method of providing logistic support to the UK amphibious force?
Get PDFMaritime power has traditionally been a central part of the UK’s defence planning and is well
suited to supporting a wide range of military operations. The littoral area has always created
problems for naval planners as most landings historically have had to endure a tactical
separation of the naval and land components, and hence an artificial seam between the Navy
and the Marines. With the end of the Cold War, amphibious operations are going to be more
difficult to conduct than in the past, and amphibious forces are going to have to adopt
manoeuvre warfare capabilities in order to successfully complete their missions. It is very
likely that amphibious forces will have to conduct operations against a numerically superior
enemy, who is on his own terrain, and be surrounded by a neutral, if not hostile populace. As
such, the concept of Operational Manoeuvre From The Sea (OMFTS) whereby the sea is used
as a manoeuvre space, and command and control is fast enough to cope with large amounts of
information, but at the same time allow subordinates maximum flexibility to use their
initiative, is increasingly attractive. It will be important not only for the combat elements to be
able to use this new concept, but the Combat Service Support (CSS) elements as well
