Are there any good statistics on the amount of combat experience the US forces at D-Day had?

For example the 29th Infantry Division entered combat on D-Day as one of the assault divisions at Omaha Beach. The division spent 242 days in combat and experienced 3887 KIA, 15541 WIA, 347 MIA, and 845 captured from D-Day to VE-Day.
The problem with the numbers, was most of the losses were in the Rifle companies, so you had a lot of churn, and the FNGs and the Vets didn't mesh well in the Unit by end of the War

The US Replacement Depots did almost as the Germans in hurting unit cohesion, by sending guys fresh off the boat or from a support company that hadn't fired a gun since Boot in '42, right into the front, with zero acclimation
