0 an area of land near the sea or a river that an attacking army has taken control of and from where it can move forward into enemy country: --
The troops quickly established a beachhead and were preparing to advance.
1 a position in a market that a company achieves and that it hopes to make stronger in the future: --
Since the 20th century an amphibious landing of troops on a beachhead is acknowledged as the most complex of all military manoeuvres.
This caused confusion as to the size of the attack, including the company defending the beachhead reporting the attack as nothing unusual.
After this successful subterfuge she sailed to the actual beachheads and landed her troops.
The brigade resupplies these troops during the early stages of establishing a beachhead.
Although it was the beachhead of early settlement on the island, its population has not grown significantly since it was settled.
Because the invader's reality remade the physical laws of the beachhead, his armies were much more effective in combat than the target's defense force.
In this liberated beachhead, two major airfields plus smaller liaison landing strips were hastily constructed.
It landed a small airborne force and then sent landing parties in, supporting them by ship bombardment, and reinforcements were sent in until the beachhead was secured.
