Today is June 6, 2026 “D-Day”
and commemorates 82 years after Allied invasion of Normandy

—The Allied landings in Normandy on D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944.

Normandy Landings was the largest amphibious invasion in history, involving more than 156,000 Allied troops landing on five beaches in Normandy, France, during World War II.

Immediately after France fell to the N***s in 1940, the Allies planned a cross-Channel assault on German occupying forces. The opening invasion of the liberation of France would ultimately code-named Operation Overlord. By May 1944, 2,876,000 Allied troops were amassed in southern England. The largest armada in history, lay in wait, and more that 1,200 planes stood ready. Against a tense backdrop of uncertain weather forecasts, disagreements in strategy, and related timing dilemmas, General Dwight D. Eisenhower decided before dawn on June 5 to proceed with Overlord. Later that same afternoon, he scribbled a note intended for release, accepting responsibility for the decision to launch the invasion and full blame should the effort to create a beachhead on the Normandy coast fail.

On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight N**i Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day's end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler's crack troops.

SOF Week 2026 in Tampa reinforced why this community matters.

With 22,000+ participants from more than 60 countries, the conversations this week made one thing clear: autonomy, UAS platforms, and rapid acquisition are no longer future concepts—they are today’s operational priorities.

Strong emphasis across the agenda focused on Program Executive Office (PEO) priorities, force modernization, operational support, unmanned systems, counter-UAS, and the technologies shaping the future mission environment.

DHE & Associates Aerospace Advisory Services was proud to represent our team—but success in this space is never about one person.
There is no “I” in TEAM.

The best part of SOF Week is reconnecting with trusted friends and longtime colleagues, meeting new mission partners, and having the real conversations that move capability forward.

Proud to stand alongside outstanding teammates:

AVSIG (Advanced Vertical Systems Integration Group) — leadership rooted in military aviation excellence, including former USMC / HMX-1 operational experience.

AELIUS Exploitation Technologies — bringing decades of defense and special operations mission experience in autonomy, advanced technology integration, secure communications, and operational systems.

New Mexico State University Physical Science Laboratory (NMSU PSL) — a proven national defense and operational testing partner with deep military and mission experimentation expertise.

DHE remains focused on building partnerships that connect innovation to operational outcomes.

Strong teams. Shared mission. Forward momentum.

Yesterday at SOF Week Tampa, the waterfront came alive with the USSOCOM Capability Demonstration (“Battle in the Bay”)—a powerful reminder that special operations is where innovation meets ex*****on.

From maritime operations and air assets to autonomous systems, UAS integration, and joint force coordination, the demonstration showcased the speed, complexity, and mission focus that define today’s operational environment.

For DHE & Associates, events like this reinforce why autonomy, resilient communications, rapid acquisition, and trusted partnerships matter.

Great connecting with longtime colleagues, mission partners, and new friends throughout SOF Week.

Capability isn’t just discussed here—it’s demonstrated.
