Integrated Amphibious Warfare Is An Option • Even In 2026

Many people say Amphibious Warfare is obsolete these days because of drones. The U.S. Military has an answer for those people. It's called 'air superiority'. Once air superiority is established over a beachhead, drone warfare cannot continue. Once enemy command and control is suppressed, drones are useless. The U.S. Military knows this and it is a focal point of U.S. Pentagon planners. Drones can only be used if drones can be launched. Boots on the ground when air superiority is established is still in play.
