Yes. Operation Market was the airborne phase of the overall plan, during which British and American airborne troops were landed to seize bridges over the Waal, Maas and Rhine Rivers. Operation Garden was the simultaneous movement of British 30 Corps, designed to carry these ground troops rapidly over the bridges seized by the airborne and across the Rhine. Shortcomings in the plan, poor command performance, stiff enemy resistance, and bad luck combined to prevent the crossing of the last bridge onto the east side of the Rhine, which was the whole point and purpose of the operation.

To try & reduce the number of grade crossing accidents.
Please look up operation Desert Crossing.

Operation Neptune was the cross-Channel crossing phase of 'Operation Overlord' - the invasion of Normandy. Operation Neptune placed all naval issues under the command of Admiral Bertram Ramsey whose command skill had already been seen in 1940 with the part he played in the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk.

It was dropped from that assault due to a lack of sufficient transport aircraft. It was scheduled to participate in other planned drops but events proved these to be unnecessary. Thus it did not see combat as a unit. The 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) which was attached to the division in March 1945 did see combat as part of the invasion of southern France (Operation Dragoon) and during the Battle of the Bulge.17th Airborne Division (Thunder from Heaven) - Its first combat was during the latter stages of the Battle of the Bulge when it participated in the counter offensive southwest of Bastogne.

In the ETO it participated in the Normandy invasion, Operation Market-Garden centered on Nijmegen, and the Battle of the Bulge, fighting on the northern side of the "Bulge".101st Airborne Division (The Screaming Eagles) - Its first action was as part of the Normandy invasion. It also participated in Operation Market-Garden centered on Eindhoven. Its most famous action was at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.In addition to the above mentioned active airborne divisions there were a number of what were called "ghost" and "phantom" divisions. Ghost divisions were slated for activation but were cancelled in 1943 due to manpower issues resulting from various reasons. The 15th Airborne Division was one of these "ghost" divisions with the 545th Parachute Regiment and the 191st and 192nd Glider Infantry Regiments slated to form the infantry complement. Phantom divisions were created as part of the fictitious U.S. 1st Army Group designed to deceive the Germans as to the location of the upcoming invasion of Europe. The 6th, 9th, 18th, 21st& 135th Airborne Divisions were among these phantom divisions.This information comes from the book Order of Battle U.S. Army, World War II by Shelby Stanton.
