Let's see if I can beat LWilde with a more detailed response.
This is all very high level:
#1 You have to survey the beach. Make sure it can take your heavy equipment and is suited to a landing. Get the tidal range, currents, etc. The SEALs can trace their heritage to this mission and are still capable of performing it.
#2 You have to rehearse the attack and load the ships with a combat load out. What is to be offloaded first is loaded last, what is offloaded last is loaded first.
#3 The day of the attack you have to do the following:
-Clear any minefields.
-Prep the beach with naval guns and aircraft.
-Deploy landing craft.
-Embark troops on the landing craft.
-Amass the landing craft in waves. Coordinating small boats and keeping them in their lanes is akin to herding cats thanks to tides, currents and winds.
Oh BTW, that is all under fire.
#4 Once the force is landing, you have to continue to coordinate air and naval gun fire support. Then you have to evacuate casualties ashore back to the ships.
#5 While the force is fighting ashore you have to supply them from ship. Which means you have to unload the ships, load follow on troops and supplies for the troops already ashore onto boats and send them in, under fire.
-You have to continue #5 until there are no more enemy troops around to challenge your beachhead.
#6 You have to either capture or build port facilites to sustain the forces ashore. Only then is the amphibious operation over, and you still have to supply by sea.
We're not even talking about landing airborne/airmobile troops at the same time, like D-Day. The amount of coordination is phenomenal. Not only that you have to make the right calls, do you need more troops, equipment or supplies ashore at any given time. The wrong mix and you can spiral yourself into disaster.
