Beachhead A beachhead is a temporary line created when a military unit reaches a beach by sea and begins to defend the area while other reinforcements help out until a unit large enough to begin advancing has arrived . The term is sometimes used interchangeably ( both correctly and incorrectly ) with " bridgehead " and " lodgement " . Beachheads were very important in operations such as Operation Neptune , the Korean War ( especially at Inchon ) , and the Vietnam War , among many other examples . Although many references state that " Operation Neptune " refers to the naval operations in support of " Operation Overlord " , the most reliable references make it clear that " Overlord " refers to the establishment of a large - scale " lodgement " in Normandy , and that " Neptune " refers to the landing phase which created the beachhead ; i . e . " Neptune " was the first part of " Overlord " . According to the D - Day Museum : Once an amphibious assault starts , victory tends to go to the side which can reinforce the beachhead most quickly . There are exceptions to this rule where the amphibious forces have not expanded from their beachheads quickly enough to create a " lodgement " area before the defenders can reinforce their positions . Two famous examples in which the attackers failed to expand their beachheads before the defending side could bring up reinforcements occurred during the landing at Suvla Bay in the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I , and the amphibious landing at Anzio during World War II .

Originally , this term applied only to crew members that were present at the ship ' s first commissioning . Today , however , plank owner is often applied to members of newly commissioned units , new military base s and recommissioning crews as well . In U . S . military . Plankowner is a term used by the United States Navy , and has consequently been variously defined by different units . The origin of the term is the implication that a crew member was around when the ship was being built and commissioned , and therefore has bragging rights to the " ownership " of one of the plank s in the main deck . Historically , a plankowner in the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard , or his widow , could petition the Naval Historical Center ' s Curator Branch for a piece of the deck when the ship was decommissioned . Sailors who are plank owners at their current command often have the word " PLANKOWNER " embroidered on the back of their uniform ball cap to denote this designation . A plaque is placed aboard the ship with the crew names . When in port , the departure of a plank owner for the final time is usually announced on the 1MC public announcing system with a bell - ring , as < ding , ding > " Plank owner , departing " .
