Which type of amphibious operation is a swift incursion into or temporary occupation of objective followed by planned withdrawal?

• A. Amphibious Assault
• B. Amphibious Raids
• C. Feint
• D. Demonstration

Answer: (B)

Amphibious raids are designed for a swift incursion into an objective with the purpose of achieving a limited, specific aim and then withdrawing as planned. The emphasis is on speed, surprise, and brevity—strike the target, perhaps damage or capture it briefly, and leave before a strong enemy response can be organized. This fits the description of a temporary occupation or rapid entry followed by withdrawal.

This differs from an amphibious assault, which seeks to seize and hold a beachhead or objective for follow-on operations; a feint, which is deception meant to mislead about intent or strength; and a demonstration, which is a show of force intended to influence the enemy without committing to occupancy or a serious fight.
