Los britanicos usaron en gallipoli lanchas modificadas, basicamente con blindaje. Se las llamo lighters, nombre generico de una lancha transbordadora de carga. Los españoles modificaron lanchones a vapor con pequeñas rampas, pero los primeros en construir una barcaza anfibia real fueron los japoneses con sus Dai Hatsu

Sobre Mr Higgins, el modifico la lancha britanica LCT y LCM en un diseño producible en mas a ambos lados del atlantico, la LCA, cuya version mejorada fue la LCVP que permitia embarcar un jeep. La LCA originalmente no tenia rampa y luego una muy reducida.

Los britanicos tenian LCM y LCTs ya para 1940. Como anecdota se puede referir que los tanques Hotchkiss enviados a Narvik en el acorazado Revenge ( sobre su cubierta...) fueron desplazados desde la costa al acorazado en pequeñas LCM, una de las cuales se volco, pues el tanque pesaba en ese momento 12 tons y la lancha estaba certificada para 10...

No quisiera equivocarme pero me parece que las primeras barcazas de desembarco que se emplearon fueron inglesas y en las playas de Galipoli en Turquía. Luego los Españoles las emplearón en el norte de africa.

Justamente, las barcazas tipo K utilizadas por España en Alhucemas eran el remanente de las diseñadas y utilizadas por los británicos en Gallipoli, que había quedado en Gibraltar. En todo caso el Español puede haber sido el primer desembarco exitoso y el que sentó las bases del desembarco anfibio moderno (un mando naval y terrestre unificado, apoyo aéreo, etc.)

El USMC consideraba, en sus publicaciones introductorias a la Guerra Anfibia, el desembarco chileno en Pisagua ( 2 de Noviembre, 1879) como el primer desembarco con oposicion "moderno" en el sentido de considerar un mando unificado y empleo de fuerzas conjuntas. Obviamente pertenece a la segunda revolucion industrial y no estaban presentes dos elementos claves de la era contemporanea, como son las comunicaciones inalambricas y el poder aereo.

Pese a ello, se asalto y tomo una cabeza de playa en condiciones bastante dificiles.

Le pusieron algunos dientes a las lanchitas los muchachos de la Navy. Siempre me gustaron las CB para las fuerzas fluviales del ARA.

Es la primera vez que veo imágenes donde aparecen estos tipos, por ejemplo en esta última foto, sin taparles la cara.

En muchas de las fotos se ve una variación de la técnica que utilizan Chis costa y los trainers de Magpul.

Los Marines toman el M4 de la misma forma, pero sin elevar tanto el codo ...

31st Marine Expeditionary Unit The Marine Corps' force in readiness in the Asia Pacific​

​

Japanese, US conduct bilateral boat raid in Guam.​

​

NAVAL BASE GUAM, Guam

Cutting through the waves and a the precise moment to signal the team to cut the engines, Marine Corps boat teams, accompanied by a platoon of integrated Japanese soldiers, approached the shore. With boots hitting the sand quickly and deployed to engage the enemy, the Marines, Sailors and Japanese soldiers simultaneously readied their weapons and prepared for a foot patrol.​

Marines and Sailors with Company F., Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary and soldiers from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Forcend soliders with nd Sailors on the beach ahead of the rest of the boats conducted a bilateral boat raid here, September 22.​

The JGSDF were integrated into BLT 2/1 during the MEU’s Amphibious Integration Training and Certification Exercise, where they conducted various amphibious operations side-by-side to help strengthen military ties between Japan and the US. This bilateral training demonstrates the continued commitment of the United States and Japan to increase interoperability of the militaries and assists in maintaining a strong partnership.​

“The Marine Corps has had a long history with amphibious warfare,” said Sgt. Maj. Yukihiro Nakayama, a translator with the JGSDF platoon and a native of Okinawa, Japan. “This is our chance to learn from them and begin to develop our own amphibious operations capabilities.”​

The Marines, Sailors and JGSDF soldiers shared techniques while conducting raids with combat rubber raiding craft and training in jungle survival and warfare. This bilateral training gives both the US and Japan important knowledge that could be utilized in future operations.​

“The Japanese soldiers picked up on the techniques with the boats without missing a beat or running into any issues,” said Lance Cpl. Daniel Perez, and mortarman with BLT 2/1 and a native of Mesa, Arizona. “I enjoyed getting to work with them; it motivated me. They taught us things about the jungle that you would not know unless you have been there.”​

During the raid, the Japanese soldiers and US Marines approached the objective using six boats, ready for contact. After the boats cut through the waves, the engines were shut off after the signal and the boats hit the beach. ​

Once the troops extracted from the boats, the JGSDF led a patrol down a road to secure the immediate area, ensuring the perimeter was established. After the mission, which was the final exercise integrating the JGSDF platoon, the company commander and company first sergeant gave the Japanese soldiers a farewell speech, giving their respect and gratitude for their successful bilateral training.​

“We have been working with them (JGSDF) for about a month and a half and I have been really impressed with their motivation, fitness levels, and eagerness to train,” said Capt. Tobin Walker, the company commander of Co. F., BLT 2/1. “My Marines and I enjoyed working with them and hope to do it again in the future.”​

The 31st MEU is finishing the final days of their Certification Exercise, which ensures the MEU maintains readiness and proficiency in its mission essential tasks, ranging from humanitarian assistance to amphibious assaults. ​

The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.​
