Army amphibious expertise lives in engineers and logisticians

How is the British Army involved in amphibious operations?

Mainly through engineering, logistics, riverine, and follow-on land-force functions; the role requires real specialist practice rather than a paper designation.

Amphibious operations remained primarily a naval responsibility even when Army formations were assigned supporting roles. The Falklands example contrasts the Royal Marines' practised expertise with a nominal Army brigade that reportedly lacked even the relevant manuals. Royal Engineers and Royal Logistic Corps personnel retain the most useful river-crossing, bridging, transport, and sustainment skills. An Army formation built for the role should therefore draw heavily on those specialists and be commanded by someone who understands their work.
