This bloke ?

 

[Louis Badolato]

He's part of the set with the guy waiving the flags to guide the next ship in.

I'm guessing wayne wants to know what the red symbol on his helmet is and what it signifies.

I don't have those figures so I can't clearly see the mark, but it is almost certainly a "Red Arc" painted on his helmet which designates him as a member of the 6th or 7th Navy Beach Battalion (Omaha Beach) or the 2nd Navy Beach Battalion (Utah Beach). I can't read the red writing under the arc. They correctly have the grey Navy band painted around the helmet. He is likely a Navy Chief Petty Officer wearing Army clothing as he is equipped with an M-1 carbine and a short range handy-talkie radio. The guy with the flags is probably a Coxswain from the Navy - they wore Army clothing with USN painted on and most beach personnel wore paratrooper boots. They usually did not display any rank.
