Nan Sector would be assaulted by the Regina Rifle Regiment of 7th Brigade, as well as the North Shore Regiment and the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada of the 8th Canadian Infantry Brigade, while tanks of the Fort Garry Horse provided armoured support; a squadron of specialized AVRE engineering tanks from the British 79th Armoured Division would land on each beach sector as well.
One harbour, known as Mulberry A, was constructed off Saint-Laurent at Omaha Beach in the American sector, and the other, Mulberry B, was built off Arromanches at Gold Beach in the British sector.
Third Point dove into the world of reinsurance — in which firms essentially backstop insurance firms' operations — at a time when other hedge funds were setting up beach heads in the sector.
At the same time, along with the economy, more and more people go to the southern beaches, the restaurant sector is flourishing and big supermarkets are bringing consumption diversity to ever more remote parts of the country.
The assault sectors at Gold Beach were designated (from west to east) Item, Jig (comprising sections Green and Red), and King (also consisting of two sections named Green and Red).
According to its characteristics, the beach was divided into three sectors from south to north.
The different color of the beach balls indicates the different sectors, blue Peloponnese, green Kithira-Western Crete, red—Crete, purple—Karpathos-Rhodos.
The 116th Infantry Regiment was assigned four sectors of the beach; Easy Green, Dog Red, Dog White, and Dog Green.
High cliffs at the western end of the zone meant that the landings would be undertaken on the flat beach between Le Hamel and La Rivière, in the sectors code-named Jig and King.
For this purpose, three contrasting sectors of the same beach were investigated: an urban area with a high level of visitors, a protected sector with a low density of users, and a transitional area with a high level of human occupancy.
