Which crown color indicates an amphibious task force?

• A. Red crown
• B. Green crown
• C. Blue crown
• D. Yellow crown

Answer: (B)

In joint planning, color coding helps quickly identify a task force’s operating domain or primary role. An amphibious task force spans sea and land, so the color chosen should signal that cross-domain nature. Green is used to represent this blend of maritime reach and ground assault, signaling coordination between naval and land components. The other colors typically map to more specific, non-cross-domain roles: red for danger or enemy actions, blue for naval/water-focused elements, and yellow for air or caution. Thus green best conveys the amphibious concept.
