War Plan Red

Here is a link to the plan to invade Canada by the US Army, which I mentioned below:

The following is a full-text reproduction of the 1935 plan for a US invasion of Canada prepared at the US Army War College, G-2 intelligence division, and submitted on December 18, 1935. This is the most recent declassified invasion plan available from the US archival sources. Centered pagination is that of the original document. The spelling and punctuation of the original document are reproduced as in the original document, even when in error by present-day norms.

On a related note, here's what Murdoc has to say on a proposed plan to invade Iran. It pays to be prepared:

Face it. The US military has plans to attack pretty much everyone everywhere. It's their responsibility to be ready. Some folks, of course, get far more serious consideration than others. Iran is on the "Keep all plans up to date" list, and for good reason. And many of those plans involve coordination with allies, NATO or otherwise.
