U.S. Central Command OPLAN 1003-98
OPLAN 1003–98 was the United States military's pre-2002 contingency plan in event of a war with Iraq. It originally called for 500,000 troops for the invasion and control of Iraq.
Tommy Franks' American Soldier gives extensive details of the replanning process that led to the final "Hybrid" plan for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

gollark: I saw that yesterday and SIMILARLY complained that it's not well-defined.
gollark: So if you have an object with the left half in shadow or something, even though a camera sees each side as having *wildly* different colors, you'll just think "oh, that's yellow" or something like that.
gollark: Human color processing isn't measuring something like "what amounts of reddish/greenish/blueish light is falling on this set of cones", it's trying to work out "what object is this and what are the lighting conditions".
gollark: Besides that, you don't perceive colors that way.
gollark: The problem is that what hex code you get out of a picture depends entirely on stuff like lighting and probably camera calibration.
