OPERATIONS ORDER: Opporation Order Downfall

Following the failure of the research into the Atomic
Bomb Gerneral Douglas MacArthur has been ordered to 
launch the largest Amphibious Invasion the world has 
ever seen.

After Eisenhower's decision to capture Berlin in front 
of the advancing Red Army and the consequential rise
in tensions in Germany it is apparent that the Soviets
having secured Manchuria will not be invading Korea.

Accordingly the Western Allies will need to finish the 
job and it will be a hard fight against a fanatical and
suicidal enemey. Intelligence reports that the Emperor
has replaced the Prime Minister and ordered home units 
from Korea and China (further evidence of Soviet
duplicity.)

Under command 3rd, 5th and 7th Fleets USN will provide
the naval strength to get the Army ashore and ensure a 
steady flow of supplies in the face of expected suicidal
Japanese resistance.

MacArthur will have direct control of 1st 6th and 8th US 
Armies and in support General Stillwell's 10th US 
Army will finish off rear areas.

1st US Army will include a Corps of troops provided by
our British, Australian and Canadian
 allies.

Furthermore 14th Indian Army may be drawn on for further
strength if required although we are aware of General
MacArthur's views on Indian Troops.

In addition te great mass of the USAAF will provide both 
close air support and strategic bombing support.

General you have 1 year from today before we estimate 
the war weariness will lead us to offer a conditional
peace.

Be aware General intelligence is warning of new weapons
in the japanese arsenal.....
