What was the first beach stormed by the US called?

• A. Utah
• B. Omaha
• C. Gold
• D. Sword

Answer: (B)

The event this question tests is the sequence and nature of the American landings on D-Day. Utah Beach was the first American beach assault. Troops hit the shore at dawn and faced relatively lighter German defenses, which allowed them to move inland quickly and establish a foothold with fewer casualties. Omaha Beach, although part of the same operation, faced stronger fortifications and rough terrain, leading to heavier resistance but still resulting in a successful American foothold that day. The other two beaches mentioned were British targets, not American. So the first beach stormed by the United States was Utah Beach.
