Beach Jumper Unit 2

Beach Jumper Unit 2 was established by the United States Navy during World War II as part of an innovative effort to conduct tactical deception and psychological operations. Formed in 1943, the unit specialized in simulating amphibious landings and creating false radio traffic to mislead Axis forces about Allied intentions. Operating primarily in the Mediterranean theater, Beach Jumper Unit 2 played a significant role in several major operations, including the invasions of Sicily, Salerno, and southern France. Their pioneering tactics laid the groundwork for modern naval special warfare and information operations.
