How did the British landing in Somaliland work?

What role did amphibious methods play in the British operation against Italian Somaliland?

Available local craft and sloops landed troops and provided support in an operation that was not strongly opposed.

The operation drew on equipment previously used for exercises around Ceylon and on miscellaneous ships. Sloops could carry boats close inshore and provide gunfire. Because the landing faced relatively little resistance, it did not impose the same requirements as an assault against a fortified beach.
