In English military parlance, D-Day is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. While the initial D in D-day does not stand for anything, it often represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will or has occurred.

Originally the 'D' stood for 'Day', as military code dictated at the time, a specific day for an action to take place, but the press of the time reported it stood for 'Deliverance.'

Nothing, it is just a military phrase. Stands for the day a particular event will take place.

Technically it doesn't mean anything. It is a military term. The assualt was scheduled to take place at "H" hour, "D" day.
