Imperial Japanese Special Naval Landing Force
Naval Landing Forces storm ashore through the early morning mists
Early in the war the Special Naval Landing Forces were lightly equipped battalion sized units used in an offensive role. They relied on the supporting fleet to provide Naval Gunfire. Later in the war they became defensive garrisons, and added AA and guns to their TOEs.
