Hans Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Text Hmmm how can I justify this in regards to CMBB? Ah possible future CMs of course! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dook Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Warning - shameless self promotion ahead! A desire to gather information on Canada in anticipation of conflict with Great Britain played an important role in the creation of the U.S. Army's first peacetime intelligence organization, the Military Information Division, in 1885.

Das Reich Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 War plan red was just that. A plan. After WWI, the United Kingdom was one of the few potential enemies for the United States. The British had a very large nave and they had interests in the New World. I don't think this was ever taken very seriously, but its always safe to plan ahead. Today the United States has war plans for just about every possible situation. There is even a "US against the world" war plan where the US Navy blockades every major port in the world, IIRC. I think there is a boardgame depicting a War Plan Red what if. Would have been an interesting Naval war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
