OPERATION RECORD // AFTER ACTION REPORT
Operation Summary
Land by glider near the town of Saint Lo, take the nearby field airstrip and then enter the mostly-destroyed town to take and hold the bridge over the river. This will block enemy reinforcements from being able to move quickly south to crush the beachheads and enable friendly support to link up and push into occupied France.
Commendations
