Battleship Texas participated in various fleet maneuvers and exercises in the Atlantic Ocean (1919) and later Pacific Ocean from July 1919 through January 1924. Beginning in February 1923, maneuvers became known as Fleet Problems, which continued to 1939. “Landing Force Manual” became the backbone of instruction for sailors and marines making amphibious landings in 1918 and was routinely updated through 1950.
