The Armour & Embarkation “Basecamp” is the village of Broadmayne in Dorset, the historic D-Day campsite Marshalling Area D5 (MA D5). From November 1943 D5 was home to elements of the 18th Infantry Regiment, US 1st Infantry Division and prior to D-Day these units were joined by elements of the 2nd Ranger Battalion and the 116 Infantry Regiment, US 29th Infantry Division. Camp D5 was one of many marshalling areas on the South Coast in preparation for OPERATION NEPTUNE, the Naval Invasion of the Normandy beaches on D-Day and part of the wider OPERATION OVERLORD, the battle for Normandy.
