While the main force of the 505th formed a defensive line against German attacks at Mook and the 508th made its way to Nijmegen to seize the Waal bridge, elements of the 504th and 505th were able to capture 1 of the 4 bridges (3 were assigned targets for Marget Garden) over the Maas- Waal canal. He decided to land with the 82nd Airborne Division at Overasselt, so he could place his HQ in the middle of the three airborne divisions that were active during Market Garden. His job was to coordinate the operations of the three airborne divisions in the corridor. Browning acted as the XO for the First Allied Airborne Army, led by Lt- Gen Lewis Brereton. In the afternoon the 376th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion landed on DZ- N at Klein- Amerika and gliders landed at Overasselt carrying elements of Lt- Gen Frederick Browning’s headquarters. In the evening he would lead his troops into Grave, which was abandoned by the enemy. The Grave bridge was also taken swiftly by paratroopers of E- 504 PIR, lead by First Lieutenant John Thompson. The 505th was confronted with some enemy resistance but were quickly able to repulse the attacks and secure the area. Main targets for the 82nd Airborne Division were the bridges at Grave, Malden, Heumen, Hatert, Honinghutje and the ultimate goal, the Waal bridges (rail- and road bridge) at Nijmegen. The 508th was assigned to Drop zone T, located just north- east of Groesbeek at the Wylerbaan. Elements of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment together with engineers from the 307th Airborne Engineers Battalion jumped on Drop zone N just south of Groesbeek. Together they were assigned to capture the bridge. Elements of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) jump from their C- 47’s on Drop zone O (see map) minus Company E, which jumped on a special drop zone just west of the Grave bridge. This also allows other players to take the supply crates for themselves.Early in the afternoon the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division jumped on the drop zones at Groesbeek, Overasselt and Grave. Occasionally, the crates will not land directly on top of the supply drop zone but rather on the ground nearby, which means the player must manually order his units to collect them before they disappear. After purchasing the Supply lines upgrade, the amount of supplies dropped will be worth $1650. A complete load of supplies is worth $1500 once dropped. Upon completion, the supply drop zone will call in a cargo plane filled with supply crates every two minutes. However, the structure also consumes high base power resources and the delay between supply drops is a potential weakness when compared to the continuous, steady funds that could be delivered by Chinese Internet centers or GLA black markets.
Supplies are processed immediately upon landing.Ī large amount of money is dropped off on each delivery, with the supply drop zone paying for itself on the second delivery. The supply drop zone was a large drop-off point that allowed the commander in control of it to periodically receive UN Crates from C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. To build the supply drop zone, US generals had to have already constructed a strategy center.
