During the invasion, paratroops typically carried essential equipment that included a military rifle (like the M1 Garand or the M1 Carbine), a sidearm, grenades, and a combat knife. They also had a parachute, a reserve parachute, and equipment for navigation, such as compasses and maps. Additionally, they carried personal items like rations, water canteens, and first aid kits, along with specialized gear like radiOS for communication and demolition charges for sabotage missions.
