What vehicles are employed from LSTs and well deck ships per the proposed amphibious strategy?

Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAVs) are specifically designed to support amphibious operations and are a critical component of the proposed amphibious strategy. These vehicles are equipped to transition from sea to land, allowing them to take troops and equipment ashore effectively. They are capable of operating directly from a well deck ship or LST (Landing Ship Tank), which is essential for executing rapid and flexible assaults during amphibious operations.

AAVs have features that make them ideal for a range of environments, including their ability to navigate through surf and their versatility in terms of transporting personnel and equipment to land in a protected manner. This makes them a pivotal element in the modern amphibious warfare strategy, as they ensure that forces can land quickly and sustain combat operations once ashore.

Other options like standard troop carriers, amphibious support vessels, and naval transport ships, while useful in different roles, do not provide the same level of operational capability needed specifically for the direct assault nature inherent to amphibious operations.
