Military amphibious operation
Je n'ai que le terme plage de couleur...mais je crois bien que cela n'a aucune logique avec ce paragraphe. Merci pour votre aide.
In amphibious operations, the officer embarked in a primary control ship assigned to control the movement of landing craft, amphibious vehicles, and landing ships to and from a colored beach.

BEACH MARKERS
A system of beach markers is used while organizing the beach to receive landing crafts, landing ships, and amphibians. The markers help vessel operators locate the correct beach in daylight or darkness. Shore party personnel install the markers as soon as possible after the initial assault of an amphibious operation.
Beaches under attack are color designated, such as red beach or green beach, with markers of corresponding colors. The daylight markers are made of cloth and held aloft as shown in Figure 5-1. During daylight, a horizontal rectangle identifies the left flank of a beach, as seen from the sea; a square, the center of the beach; and a vertical cloth rectangle, the right flank. During night operations, a system of white and appropriately colored lights is used (Figure 5-l).
