Today, the major powers use sea-mobile forces to project their strength around the world, with assault ships and specialized landing vessels deploying an amazing array of assault craft, amphibious vehicles and hovercraft.

‘Amphibious Assault’ takes you with the US and British Marines and their Soviet counterparts as they sail on exercises, training to land on enemy occupied shores from northern Norway to the Middle East. All their major weapons and equipment are seen in action in film which are available for the first time on DVD, including the US Marines’ most modern AAV7A1 armored amphibious assault vehicle and the futuristic LCAC hovercraft which can carry a 60-ton load at up to 50 m.p.h.

Also included are sequences of US SEALs and Royal Marine raiders going ashore for reconnaissance or sabotage missions such as preceded the Grenada and Falklands landings. The superb footage is accompanied by a detailed script by military authority Bruce Quarrie.
