SECRET
ENCLOSURE A
JOINT ARMY AND NAVY SPECIAL PLAN VIOLET
I. ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION
1. Historical precedents as to the use of the armed forces of the United States for purposes of intervention, indicate that plans should be made to meet like emergencies which may occur in the future.
2. Possible emergencies are likely to be of the following types:
(a) Intervention to protect the lives and property of American citizens, e.g., intervention in China during the Boxer Uprising and at Nicaragua in 1912;
(b) Intervention to maintain the rights, dignity, and authority of the United States, e.g., occupation of Vera Cruz in 1914;
(c) Intervention to remedy conditions so injurious to the United States, as a neighboring nation, that they can no longer be endured, e.g., intervention in Cuba in 1893:
(d) Intervention to forestall action by other countries including the League of Nations, as a matter of international equity and as an implied obligation of the United States in view of its assertion of the Monroe Doctrine, e.g., action in Haiti and San Domingo.
3. While it is impossible to forecast the exact situation to be met in case of possible future interventions, it is reasonably certain that in the future, as in the past, the following conditions will characterize the general situation:
(a) The decision to intervene will be made suddenly, and probably as the result of some overt act or special situation which will largely, if not entirely, determine the character of the intervention and the means to be employed;
(b) The situation will be such that promptness of action will be of paramount importance:
(c) There will be no considerable hostile naval strength;
(d) Possible theaters of operations are Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies.
II. DECISION AS TO GENERAL PLAN.
Major Decision.
4. To provide for such intervention operations as may be ordered by the President of the United States.

(c) That, when Joint Army and Navy action is ordered by the President, The Joint Board will formulate specific instructions, based upon said order and the situation existing at the time of the intervention; these instructions to include a statement of the Naval, Marine Corps, and Army forces required, the mission of such forces, and the theater of operations.
(d) In order to insure the immediate availability of Army forces suitable and adequate, for the operations contemplated by (b) and (c) above, to make provision for holding in a constant state of readiness such Army forces as will permit tho prompt dispatch, of any one of the expeditionary forces below indicated.

(c) To establish, operate, and maintain all ports of embarkation for the Army Transport Service.
(d) To procure, man, and operate all vessels necessary for the transportation and maintenance of the Army Expeditionary Force; the convoy of such vessels to be conducted by the Navy in accordance with Articles 1461-1467 (inclusive), U.

The following is just a brief summary of RAINBOW FOUR's planning assumptions.
I didn't bother scanning in the entire war plan; it's just too long. I did however scan in this page because it's a very interesting insight into US War Planning Assumptions Circa April 10, 1940.
-----------
J.B. No 325
(Serial 642-4)
SECTION II
ASSUMPTIONS
1. Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan - RAINBOW NO. 4, is based on the following assumptions:
a. The coalition of Totalitarian Powers to which the United States is opposed in a RAINBOW. NO. 4 War, consist of Germany, Italy and Japan.
b. The termination of the war in Europe has resulted from the military defeat of Great Britain and France.
c. The combined fleets of Germany and Italy, including Naval units taken over from Great Britain and France, are equal or superior to the United States Fleet.
d. Germany and Italy have declared their intention of assuming sovereignty over all French; British, Dutch and Danish colonial possessions and mandates. Actual occupation at an early date may be expected to include Iceland; Senegal, Gambia, French Guinea and Sierra Leone, all on the West Coast of Africa; and all territories and mandates bordering the Red and Mediterranean Seas, including Egypt.
e. Japan, while compelled to retain strong forces in China, and Manchukuo has, vith the consent of Germany and Italy, declared the entire Far Eastern area to be within her sphere of influence.
f. Russia, while neutral is unfriendly to both Japan and the United States, hopes to extend her influence into India, and is furthering strong communistic activities in Mexico.
g. The British Dominions, Eire and India may have declared their complote independence from Great Britain.
h. Canada remains technically at war with Germany and Italy, has annexed Newfoundland, and declared her intention to resist German and Italian agression against Canadian soil.
i. German and Italian minorities or enemy sympathizers have been organized, and are threatening the stability of the established Governments in Brazil, Peru, and Mexico.
j. All American Republics have signified their intention of adhering to the Declaration of Lima, approved December 24, 1938, but otherwise than taking measures to control subversive elements remain in a non-belligerent stratus.
k. All American Republics; except Mexico, will permit the free passage of United States forces and will interpose no objections to the use of their territorial waters or land bases.
l. No organized resistance to occupation by the United States will be offered by British, Dutch, French or Danish colonies in the Western Hemispheres. However, unorganized resistance from enemy sympathizers may be expected.
g. War will be preceded by a period of strained relations which will develop into actual hostilities without a formal declaration of war.
-------------------------
Reading this, I'm struck by the similarities to TBO. Stuart, did you borrow Rainbow Four, and mix it with the Victory Plan's AWPD-1 to generate the framework?

Did the people who drafted TAN have any plans for what to do if US intervention IS opposed by a foreign power, e.g., Fascist Spain or Nazi Germany? Or if "serious organized resistance to intervention" DOES occur? If not, it sounds like someone dropped the ball long before Castro took power.(2) Variation B.
Establishment of a Provisional Government with military eupport.
b. The situation in CUBA is such that serious organized resistance to intervention is not anticipated.
c. Nothing in the international situation indicates that the intervention will be opposed by any foreign power.
d. The operations will be initiated without a declaration of war.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Castro was tolerated - some might even say accepted - by the U.S. when he first took power. He drifted into the Soviet orbit later.Sidewinder wrote:Did the people who drafted TAN have any plans for what to do if US intervention IS opposed by a foreign power, e.g., Fascist Spain or Nazi Germany?
