It is great to see this in the public domain. The Army is getting on with the direction it received in the NDS. It now needs to be appropriately staffed & resourced to achieve this.

As we reflect on the D Day landings, it’s worth considering the enduring complexity of amphibious operations. Link below is to the Joint Staff study for Op CAUSEWAY: developed in 1944 for a potential operation to seize Formosa from Japanese forces. ntrl.ntis.gov/NTRL/dashboard…
