What must be done to land two LCACs on a 100 yard beach with a 50 yard depth?

To effectively land two LCACs (Landing Craft Air Cushion) on a 100-yard beach with a depth of 50 yards, extending the flanks as much as possible is a strategic maneuver that allows both vessels to position themselves while maximizing the available space. By spreading the landing craft out, you ensure that they have adequate room to maneuver, avoiding potential collisions and operational complications during the landing process.

This approach is particularly important in scenarios where beach space is limited, as it helps to create a safer environment for offloading personnel and equipment without interfering with the operations of the other craft. By extending the flanks, both LCACs can operate more freely, providing a clear path for each to approach the beach without compromising each other’s access or operational efficiency.

Other strategies, such as landing in a straight line or using a single entry point, could lead to complications with space and maneuverability, particularly if there are constraints on the beach or potential risks of congested landings. Simply landing together at the center might reduce the efficiency of the landing process, as it could result in crowding and limit the available access for either craft.
