On Sunday December 29, 2002, The Foudre LPD landed troops and armored vehicles in Abidjan, Ivory-Coast, thus enabling France to quickly reinforce the biggest intervention on the African continent since the 1980s. Operation Licorne is the most recent example of force projection from the sea by the French armed forces. As a consequence of the number of emerging threats associated with littorals, the capability for long-range engagement and the ability to intervene far from the national territory has become one of the most obvious challenges introduced by the new post-cold war strategic environment. Amphibious warfare, which was relegated to a secondary order during the Cold War, has become a primary concern for the French defense policymakers and led to the implementation of a national doctrine for amphibious operations. How will this doctrine drive organization, equipment and training of the forces involved in amphibious operations. Interoperability and cooperation between services and allied forces is critical to meet the challenges of modern amphibious warfare.
