Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan Red, also known as the Atlantic Strategic War Plan, was a war plan created by the United States investigating the measures required to fight a war with Great Britain (the "Red" forces)."[1] War Plan Red discussed the potential for fighting a war with Britain and its Empire and outlined those steps necessary to defend the Atlantic coast. It further discussed fighting a two-front war with both Japan and the British Empire simultaneously (as envisioned in War Plan Red-Orange).[citation needed]
