Port-Lyautey, Morocco: U.S. Advance vs. Vichy French Defend: The first phase of Operation Torch included amphibious landings along the Atlantic coast. Many of the primary objectives included the securing of French airodromes in the area for use in the second phase: the advance into Tunisia. One such field was located near Port-Lyautey on the Sebou river. Nestled in the U shape of the bend in the river, the airfield would not fall easily. A three-pronged attack was decided upon. With the initial landing accomplished, one team would cross the river to the North of the airfield and participate in a coordinated attack with a second team advancing up from the southern beaches. A third group, consisting of a special raider detachment transported up the Sebou by the destroyer Dallas would land to the East. The field was to be taken before nightfall. Best as U.S., or H2H.
