Omaha Beach Here is the REAL story of the Ranger Battalion depicted in the movie. Company C (Charlie Company) of the 2nd Ranger Battalion was assigned to Task Force B, which was part of the Provisional Ranger Group formed by both the 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalion units. The Provisional Ranger Group was temporarily attached to the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th Infantry Division. Assisting Task Force B in its mission was a platoon of DD Tanks from Company B of the 743rd Tank Battalion. Company C boarded HMS Prince Charles on June 1st, 1944 at Weymouth, England. Task Force B was to land at Charlie Sector (located directly to the west of Dog Green Sector) at 06:33 a.m. along with Company A of the 116th Infantry Regiment, and Company B of the 743rd Tank Battalion. The first platoon (LCA 418) was commanded by Lieutenant William Moody, and the second platoon (LCA 1038) was commanded by Lieutenant Sydney Salomon. The commander of the company, Captain Ralph Goranson, rode with the first platoon. Unable to contact Company A of the 116th by radio, and seeing the beating that the 29th Division was receiving at Dog Green, Captain Goranson ordered his surviving men to proceed up the cliffs. Following his men, Goranson himself reached the top around 7:15 a.m. Source: On-line Encyclopedia for "Saving Private Ryan" -- www.sproe.com
