Over the Beach: US Army Amphibious Operations in the Korean War, by
historian and retired Army Colonel describes the little known
history of the Army's amphibious operations during the Korean War.
This book is part of our tradition of publishing high-quality
historical studies from outside authors that have continuing
relevance to the US Army today. After the massive Chinese attacks
of November and December 1950, the Army conducted a number of
amphibious withdrawals as it fell back southward on the Korean
peninsula to more defensible positions. Throughout the war, the
Army also conducted a number of non-assault amphibious operations
and over-the-shore logistical operations. Since the Korean War, the
Army's amphibious role has greatly decreased in importance. The
Army, however, conducted extensive riverine operations in Vietnam
and continues to employ them in Iraq. Additionally, over-the-shore
logistics remains an important part of Army doctrine and logistical
capability today. This historical study chronicles an aspect of the
US Army's history that may seem remote from the challenges facing
the Army in 2008.
