Sinopsis
In this episode, we’re focusing on the Navy and Marine operations along Mexico’s eastern coastline. The story begins with Marines being the first U.S. troops to cross into Mexican territory and follows their involvement in key amphibious assaults, including the challenging campaigns at Alvarado, Frontera, San Juan Bautista, and Tampico. We’ll look at what went wrong, what the Corps learned, and how these early fights helped shape the more coordinated joint operations that followed. You’ll hear how small detachments of Marines supported larger Army operations, adapted to changing tactics, and carried out complex missions with limited manpower. ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.
