why did the U.S. Marines (an amphibious force) fight in Afghanistan (a landlocked country)?

Perhaps a [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhZF66C1Dc) will help explain it.
November 25, 2001, the Marines and Sailors of the 15th MEU (SOC) conducted an amphibious assault over 400 miles (640 km) into the land-locked country of Afghanistan using helicopter lift from amphibious shipping
Explain it like you were 5? They asked the Marines to go. Marines always go.
I’m pretty sure the training they receive is a little more than getting off a boat hahahaha
SAS/SBS aren’t limited to air/boat operations either (viz Iranian Embassy). Special forces training may lean more towards air or water, but at the end of the day that’s more a means of getting to where you need to do hardcore soldier stuff.
