While the rest of the division is moving into the Aure valley, the 116th is still in need of reinforcement and reorganisation.
 To this end, you will be placed in division-reserve soon, but not before doing some more dirty work.
 You are to mop up the area between Grandcamp and Isigny.
 A company of Rangers and three Sherman tanks are attached to your force for this mission.

Objectives: Deploy your units NORTH of the indicated deployment line.
 Attack and destroy the indicated strongpoints.
 Be wary of local counter attacks.
 Try to catch the Germans out of position, should they try to launch one!*

Enemy: Intelligence indicates that enemy forces consisting of about an infantry company of the 352nd Infanterie-Division are preparing to launch a counter attack from Fossenay.
 This attack could cut the lines of supply and cause confusion and disorganisation.
 Furthermore, elements of the 716th Infanterie-Division are still in the area.
 These constist of Russian POWs hastily pressed into service, so don't expect much of a fight from them.*
