How did D-Day soldiers get the transport vechiles onto beaches?

Most of the soilders went on to the beach by using landing craft. The craft carried them from the ships to the beaches. once at the beach a ramp would drop on the front of the boat and the troops would run from the craft onto the beach.
Also, three full divisions (two American, and one British-Canadian) were dropped in by air.
Some of the bravest of the bunch came ashore hours before the mass landings in rubber boats. These men were combat engineers and they had the job of clearing mines and obstacles that would wreck the landing craft. Some of the combat engineer companies experienced 75% killed in action.
A few days after D-Day, several different types of temporary piers and docks were put in place to allow larger vessels to bring in heavier cargo.
