Encyclopedia > Earl Hancock Ellis

Lieutenant Colonel Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis (December 19, 1880 - May 12, 1923) was a significant United States Marine Corps officer. He wrote the Tentative Manual for Landing Operations, which became the USMC amphibious assault doctrine "Bible". Though it has changed with the trials and errors leading to the advances of the modern Marine Corps, it remains the backbone of amphibious assault procedure to this day.
