This answer depends on how specific you want to get. While the overall objective was suppose to be a surprise attack, the immediate objective was to secure the beach head and immediate perimeter so that reinforcement and supply's could land. Secondly, was each landing group had specific interior targets to reach, where along with airborne assault, they would push inward to Germany, taking back Paris from the Nazi infestation.
