	War Plan Orange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		War Plan Orange was the US Navy war plan for dealing with Japan in World War II.
		War Plan Orange did not envision that aircraft could sink battleships, or that Japan would put the US battleship fleet out of action in an attack on Pearl Harbor.
		Many have questioned the move by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to send the fleet from California to Hawaii, since when war began it would have to be brought back to California to pick up the other half of the crews (consisting of mobilized reserves and new recruits).

		All their plans were based on the use of the fleet in offensive operations west of Hawaii, and the acceptance of the strategic triangle would leave the Navy with little to do other than patrol the critical area and fend off an enemy attack.
		The plan was approved by the Secretary of the Navy on 19 June 1928, and by the Secretary of War on 10 July.

		Throughout the Civil War, the major elements of two regular army regiments, the 9th Infantry and the 3rd Artillery, were stationed at San Francisco, yet another measure of the strategic importance attached to the area.
		Although World War I had a smaller direct impact on the San Francisco Bay region than conflicts immediately before and after, certain older batteries were stripped of their armament in order to provide pieces for heavy field and railroad artillery on the Western Front, and to protect the nation's other Pacific possessions.
		Tangible manifestations of the Cold War era are reflected in the San Francisco Bay Area in terms of the continual high state of readiness maintained by local antiaircraft defenses from the Korean War through the implementation of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty of 1972.

		By war's end the number of jobs held by African Americans was at an all-time high: African American civilians accounted for eight percent of defense-industry jobs, whereas before the war they only held three percent, and 200,000 were employed by the government, more than triple the number before the war.
		Behind all the critical decisions of World War II was a preponderance of judgment among those responsible for American strategy that the main effort of the United States in a war with the Axis Powers of Europe and Asia should be made in the European theater and that Germany must be defeated first.
		From it and the painful deliberations that preceded the decision was finally crystallized the war plan known as RAINBOW 5, the plan put into effect when the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines on that "day of infamy" in December 1941.

		It delves into great depth the Japanese view of the war and in doing so, strongly refutes the history reconstructists who claim that Japan was ready to surrender and the atomic bombs weren't needed.
		For example, after the bombs were dropped and the Emperor was planning to surrender a group of young military officers attempted a coup so that Japan would continue the war.
		Another aspect of the war that the book brought to light was the infighting amongst the Jap armed forces.

		Intended or otherwise, it can be viewed as another point of evidence supporting the incompetence of the Bush administration in planning the war and the aftermath.
		But it provides indirect confirmation of the preemptive dispersal of war materiel by the Saddam regime while the US was trying to negotiate UN permission to topple him for six months, compounded by Turkey's refusal to allow the 4ID to attack south into the Sunni Triangle.
		Your point that "there was no [effective] plan, militarily speaking, to secure ammo dumps" seems correct to me, and has seemed evident for over a year, if one reads emails sent home by soldiers in the Iraqi countryside.

		The acumen of World War Two Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser and destroyermen in torpedo attack is an accepted fact.
		The dismal performance in such long-range actions as Java Sea and Komandorski Islands, and the relative success in the close-range actions of the Solomons Campaign, imply that the weapon’s speed was a greater asset than its range.
		It may be that the Japanese misappreciated their own weapon and would have been better served by a plan which eschewed “long-range concealed firing” in favor of short-range attacks that offered the enemy less time to evade.
