Which Companies of 2nd Battalion scaled the cliffs at Point Du Hoe?

Alpha Echo Foxtrot Bravo Golf Hotel Charlie India Juliett Delta Echo Foxtrot

Correct Answer:

Delta Echo Foxtrot

Explanation:

This question tests recall of which Ranger companies from the 2nd Battalion actually scaled Pointe du Hoc’s cliffs. On D-Day, the assault involved multiple Ranger companies climbing the 100-foot faces under heavy enemy fire to reach the German positions. Among the company designations, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot were the ones assigned to the cliff assault and directly involved in the scaling operation. The other groupings pair company names that aren’t part of that same cliff-attack lineup, so they don’t fit the historical action of climbing the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc. Knowing that Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot were the units that carried out the ascent makes this choice the best match for the event.
