		OPERATION DOWNFALL, to be complete within one year of the end of the war in Europe, had two major components.
		Coronet was the attack across the Kanto plain to capture Tokyo.
		Coronet was a larger operation than Olympic, but the landing on Kyushu, the southern island, was expected to be the more expensive because all of the homeland defensives would have been expended there and the promised replacements for Coronet would have been made industrially impossible.

	Pastel: deception in the Invasion of Japan
		The operational deception storythe fictitious airborne strikes at the Kyushu interior-was to be conveyed by placing large numbers of gliders on Okinawa airstrips, by establishing a false airborne corps and division headquarters on Okinawa, and by dropping supplies as if for airborne troops the nights before and after the first day of Olympic.
		Naval deception operations were to include simulated submarine-launched commando raids on the southeast coast of Korea and radio deception measures by submarine in the vicinity of Pusan between 1 December 1945 and 1 March 1946.
		Operational deception for Coronet was meant to deflect attention from Sagami Bay, the main assault area to the south, by giving the impression that Sagami was a cover operation and by falsely suggesting progressive landings from south to north (see map 5).

		The experience gained in previous Pacific operations helped to augment the tables of organization and equipment of units which would be participating in the assault.
		In the summer of 1945, the Depot Operations Branch was established in the Medical Supply Division, with the mission of preparing plans and policies for the storage and issue of medical supplies and equipment; computing storage requirements; allocating personnel; and inspecting packing, crating, and marking methods, and depot stock control and inventory procedures.
		This resulted in more effective administrative control of the numerous depot companies which were operating the medical depots and assured a continuity of effort in supporting the numerous hospitals and equipping the units mounting for Japan.

		They also knew that while America always emerged victorious, operations often were not being completed as rapidly as planned- with all the added cost in blood and treasure that such lengthy campaigns entailed.
		If the timetable slipped for either operation, US soldiers and Marines on Honshu would risk fighting in terrain similar to that later encountered in Vietnam- minus the helicopters to fly over this mess- where all movement was readily visible from even low terrain features and vulnerable convoys moved on roads above rice paddies.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log-Operation Downfall, The Planned Invasion of Japan on November 1st. 1945-
		When this operation was planned, very few of the American people were aware of the detailed operation for the Allied invasion of Japan, and even today, I do not believe there is widespread appreciation of these plans, or of the defences that the Japanese had prepared to combat such an invasion.
		The timing of Coronet would depend upon the success or otherwise of Olympic, but it was considered it would be launched on the 1st.
		It is quite obvious that the planners for this invasion, all enjoyed their motor cars, by naming all the proposed landing beaches after these famous vehicle names.

		Marshall replied that no amphibious operations against Korea were planned, at least until after the Kyushu invasion, because they would expose American shipping to Japanese suicide attacks in the Sea of Japan and would divert assault ships from the landings on Kyushu.
		The resulting photographs, although inadequate for combat operations, were useful for planning the deployment of the occupation troops.
