How many US soldiers were killed in the practice assault aimed at preparing Americans for D-Day?

The planned D-Day assault on the beaches of Normandy would be a complicated military operation. In order to prepare US troops and their commanders for this operation a beach in eastern England was chosen as a practice place for the invasion of Normandy. The English shoreline area that was chosen was considered to be almost a duplicate of the Utah Beach planned for the Normandy invasion. Due to failures in communications between British and American practice forces, approximately 1,000 US troops were killed by accidents during the practice assault.
