Military designation of days and hours

The military designation of days and hours within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), is specified in AAP-6 (STANAG 3680), NATO Glossary of Terms and Definitions, and marked (NATO) in what follows. Those entries marked (US) are specific to the U.S., and defined only in Joint Publication JP 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

References to days (or hours) preceding or following a designated day (or hour) use a plus or minus sign and an Arabic numeral following the letter. For example, "D−3" is 3 days prior to D-day, "C+7" is 7 days after C-day, "H−2" is 2 hours before H-hour, and so forth. In less formal contexts, the time is usually spelled out, so that "D−3" becomes "D minus three" or "D minus 3".

H-hour (D-day)

H-hour was the name given to the airborne assault in the Battle of Normandy. It included the American 101st Airborne Division and 82nd Airborne Division With the British 6th Airborne Division. This took place about three hours before the main beach landings on the Normandy. The Airborne invasion consisted of over 50,000 men and around 1,200 planes and gliders. The combined assault of British and American Airborne and glider divisions would surprise the German defenders and cause enough havoc to make the beach landings go more smoothly. .

Objectives of H-hour

The divisions of paratroopers that landed each had an objective:

  • The 82nd Airborne would drop and take the town of Sainte-Mère-Église and protect the right flank on the American beach landings of Omaha and Utah beach. After doing that, they would link up with the 101st.
  • The 101st Airborne Would be dropped behind Utah beach, to secure the beach exits and be prepared to exploit through the town of Carentan.
  • The British 6th Airborne Division would be dropped between the river Orne and some high ground of the Bois de Bavent to secure the eastern flank of the British and Canadian sector.

    Dear John, I'm sorry I can't do this anymore
    You're not the man I fell in love with
    And I have to move on with my life, goodbye
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cool
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    So everything that came out of your mouth was full of lies
    You looked me right dead in the eyes
    You'd call your girlfriends and tell them that I abused your trust
    You did your best to demonize
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    You were the one who raped my soul
    Beautiful lies, you stole my hope
    Touching your ass, I scratch the skin
    Holding your neck, I tie the rope
    (Pulling it tight)
    You were the one who'd never leave
    Beautiful eyes, you seemed so free
    Touching your face I felt complete
    Holding your hand my heart would weep
    You were the one, the one for me
    Now that you're gone it's hard to see
    So much of me has gone away
    There's no need to stay another day
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
    But someone's got to pay
