U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Lawrence G. Ferguson, commander of U.S. Army Special Operations Command and U.S. Navy Adm. Frank M. Bradley, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, attend a ceremony honoring the courage and sacrifice of the 75th Ranger Regiment during a D-Day commemoration event near the Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument in Cricqueville-en-Bessin, France, June 5, 2026. The ceremony honored Rangers with 2nd Battalion and 5th Battalion who scaled the nearby cliffs in an effort to neutralize the German artillery battery at Point du Hoc during Operation Overlord. The 75th RR was part of more than 600 U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Guardians and Airmen from roughly 17 units historically linked to D-Day that made up Joint Task Force 82 and participated in over 90 commemorative events throughout the Normandy Region.
