That was the intent of paratroops and Rangers landing early, but many of them in the US sector were dropped too far apart,and many in flooded fields. It took a while for all these scattered men to get together and start to accomplish their objectives.

What time did the paratroopers drop on D-day?

The main landings began about 1 A. M. About a half hour before that small groups of pathfinders were dropped, whose job it was to set up radio beacons on the drop zones for the main body of their units, which were already in the air behind them. Most of the pathfinders were dropped in the wrong place though, as were most of the main drops.
