A military operation plan (also called a war plan before the Second World War) is a formal plan for military armed forces, their military organisations and units to conduct operations, as drawn up by commanders within the combat operations process in achieving objectives before or during a conflict. Military plans are generally produced in accordance with the military doctrine of the troops involved.
Plan XVII and the Schlieffen Plan are examples of World War I military plans. The United States developed a famous color-coded set of war plans in the early 20th century; see United States Color-coded War Plans.
Military plans often have codenames.
