Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Soldiers assigned to Joint Task Force D-Day 71 walk along the shore of Omaha Beach. Taking Omaha Beach was the responsibility of the U.S. 1st Army, 5th Corps, with sea transport provided by the U.S. Navy and elements of the Royal Navy. The Americans suffered 2,400 casualties but 34,000 Allied troops had landed by nightfall. The beach was divided into Charlie, Dog, Easy and Fox zones. Service members of JTF D-Day 71 visited historic D-Day sites June 2, 2015, as part of the events to commemorate the 71st anniversary, one of which was Omaha Beach. Over 380 service members from Europe and affiliated D-Day historical units are participating in the 71st anniversary as part of JTF D-Day 71. The Task Force, based in Saint Mere Eglise, France, is supporting local events across Normandy, June 2-8, 2015, to commemorate the selfless actions by all the allies on D-Day that continue to resonate 71 years later.
