Multilateral War Plans
Some plans were expanded to include war against a coalition of hostile powers.
The most detailed was Red-Orange, based on a two-front war against the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, which expired in 1924. This was the contingency which most worried U.S. war planners, since it entailed a two-ocean war against major naval powers. Theories developed in wargaming Red-Orange were useful during World War II, when the United States engaged the Axis in both the Atlantic and Pacific simultaneously.
