Jeeps with trailers load up on canvas supply containers to be used in the upcoming post-D-Day reesupply missions. Such containers were either slung under transport aircraft and released with a special lever, while others were simply pushed from open doors over dropzones. With a month to go before the invasion, training and buildup is at a fever pitch.
