**LFTU Coronado (Landing Force Training Unit, Coronado)** was established in the mid-20th century at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, California. Its primary mission was to provide advanced amphibious warfare training to U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and allied forces, focusing on ship-to-shore operations, beach landings, and tactical coordination. LFTU Coronado played a vital role in preparing units for World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam, honing the skills necessary for successful amphibious assaults. Over time, its legacy and functions were integrated into modern expeditionary training commands, continuing to influence amphibious doctrine and operational readiness.
