;Phase 1
*The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave were made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.

*The land base is in the Dorchester Area, which during WW2 was where was RAF Warmwell. It was originally an RAF Base but was then relegated to USAAF mainly from March 1944 and then returned to RAF use in 1946.
;Startpoint 3
*This is Portsmouth which was one of the launch points for the fleet.
*''See [[Resource Node|here]] for more details.
;Startpoint 1
*Off the coast of Plymouth, this was the main marshaling point/rally point of the South West Divisions heading into Normandy, Channel Islands, and South West France.
;Startpoint 2
*This is around the area of Dover, Ramsgate, and St. Margaret's Bay. St. Margaret's Bay was part of Operation Fortitude which encompassed the deception plan to make the Germans think it was a launch point for the invasion of Calais. Ramsgate is another D-Day launch point on the Southeastern tip of England.
