Despite not having much expeditionary intent, amphibious landings are a critical part of NATO war planning. Ships are still by far the fastest way to move large amounts of men and materiel and the destruction or blockade of port facilities in wartime is fairly inevitable, so amphibious operations are a crucial way to guarantee we can still move forces around to support one another. This particular training area was used heavily in D-Day prep and still has [fake landing craft](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0764783,-4.1974076,288m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en) kicking about.
Is it just that it’s easy to scale, up or what? Obviously different circumstances but D-Day was 160,000 personnel. It seems hard to consider 3k ‘huge’ in comparison
Putin warned you all about NATO and you didn’t listen!

If you’re curious about what a French invasion of the UK would look like though the [Defence Imagery site](https://www.defenceimagery.mod.uk/Home/Search?Query=%3Fq%3D06062025hq&Type=HomepageAlbum&AlbumName=RN%20at%20the%20heart%20of%20milestone%20joint%20Franco-British%20exercise) (worth every penny of tax money) has some great snaps of France’s amphibs landing in Devon.
We’ll conquer Bristol in 3 days!

3000 personnel is ‘huge?’
