Military planners always have a plan stored in the in the safe "just in case".

From 1900 till WWII, the US Army and Navy had "color plans" in case of need

War Plan Black: War with Germany
War Plan Red: War with the UK
War Plan Crimson: Invasion of Canada (part of Red)
War Plan Gold: War with France
War Plan Gray: Intervention in a Caribbean island or a Central American country
War Plan Green: War with Mexico
War Plan Maroon: War with Italy
War Plan Purple: Intervention in Brazil
War Plan Tan: Intervention in Cuba
War Plan Pink: War with Russia/USSR
War Plan Orange: War with Japan
War Plan White: Internal domestic disturbances.

These plans were in writing and were war-gamed at the Army and Navy War Colleges
