Meanwhile USA can just invade whatever with 3-4 divisions of tanks and paratroopers without any substantial effort being expended.

Barras was a special forces operation not a full on amphibious assault.
you've started twisting events to try and suit your point so i'm not going to continue with this any longer

The missing ingredient in UK amphibious assaults is the inability to land armoured troops rapidly on shore.

So the idea is 10 men, three ubgl rifles, two automatic rifles, five regular rifles, and the section has issued both a CARL G and LMG. One rifleman each is trained to operate the Carl G and LMG with the other to act as assistant (ty for the idea Gallia). These two would be in the third fireteam and use whichever weapon the SL says, with the other two fire teams being balanced as 3 men, one with an automatic rifle, one with the ubgl, and one with a regular rifle and an AT4.
How does this sound?

Myself, i'm thinking about using a mixed fleet of not!Hinds and not!Super Pumas or not!Blackhawks, with the Hinds landing first and, after disembarking their troops, providing cover for the other helicopters.

Puzikas wrote:East Germany transferred two fully amphibiously qualified Regiments: 28th Wilhelm Florin and the 29th Ernst Moritz Arndt Motorized Rifle Regiments, bearing the Seelanderegiment as a designation; the 28th later was fully transfered to the Volksmarine as Kustenverteidigungsregiment-18 (18 KVR), which I am slightly more familiar with.
These units, I expect, were small contributions by East Germany to the greater Soviet plan for the invasion of Jutland, which would be carried out primaraly by the 5th DDR Army, in conjunction with the Soviet 2nd Guards tank Army (IIRC), with Naval landings conducted by several Soviet Naval Infantry units and the Polish 6th PDPD. Their goal may have been the occupation of West German ports in waiting for reenforcment from NVA/Soviet forces.
This is kinda interesting; I don't know for sure but the projection of the DDRs own Naval Infantry ORBAT seems to mirror that of the STASIs Wachregiment sans logisitcal backing; six Combat Battalions (x3 Motorrifle Companies, x1 Mortar battery, and AGL, Repair, Medical, ADA, AT and supply units), an Artillery Battalion, a Reconnisnace, Pioneer, Medical and reapair companies; of these I expect at least the Reconnisance Company or one Motar rifle Company to be airborne/airmobile, which would be accomplished with MIL MI-8V(T)s.
Given this I would estimate their size at 7,180 Troops, give or take.

My main infantry, the panzergrenadiers, have their Marders. But there are also the infantry divisions and the large numbers of conscript units. For the 70s, would it be possible to mechanize at least all of the regular army, or would it be more likely that the panzergrenadier units would have first dibs on all IFV and the most modern tanks, and everybody else would make do with older tanks and motorized transports in the meantime?
