War Plan Red really stopped being realistic after World War One. I'm sure they just kept updating it after that as a staff exercise, along the lines of "just in case". Prior to the Great War, War Plan Red was the one more likely to be used, especially after the British signed an alliance with Japan in 1902. The USN being nervous over that. Australia and New Zealand were not all that happy about it either. There was a brief period after World War I that Japan and the UK still had a naval alliance and War Plan Red-Orange was for a Pacific War against the combined fleets of Japan and Great Britain. However, the Japanese-British Alliance was cancelled not long after. Since it was declassified in 1974 it's been touted by the more paranoid as indicative of impending US designs on Canada. Hey, we invaded Canada twice and failed. Time to quit.
