U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) fly on a C-130J Hercules from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Normandy, France, May 30, 2026, ahead of the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, U.S. forces and Allied partners participated in the largest multinational amphibious landing and operational military airdrop in history. The assault led to the liberation of France from Nazi Germany and contributed to the eventual defeat of the Nazis. By the end of the D-Day invasion, more than 9,000 Allied troops were killed or wounded.
