America’s first true Special Forces units were key to the success of D-Day.

America’s first true Special Forces units, specially selected and trained with the help of British commandos. A select few joined the British in the ill-fated Dieppe Raid of 1942, and became the first U.S. ground troops to see action in Europe. Two battalions would go on to play a major role in the D-Day landings, proving key to the success of the Normandy invasions.
