The COSSAC staff (Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander) had begun planning the Normandy invasion even before Eisenhower was named Supreme Commander. They initially designated the American beaches X and Y. Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk, commanding the Western Naval Task Force supporting them, suggested they be called OMAHA and Oregon, names familiar to Americans and not easily confused in voice transmissions. Somehow OREGON became transmuted into Utah.
