During the First Red Scare the raids on suspected political radicals were known as Palmer Raids, named after US Attorney General Alexander Palmer, who ordered the US Justice Department to conduct the raids.

General Douglas MacArthur's involvement in the Red Scare primarily stemmed from his role as the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Japan during the post-World War II occupation. His strong anti-communist stance and efforts to reshape Japan's government aligned with U.S. policies aimed at containing communism. Additionally, his later actions during the Korean War, particularly his aggressive approach toward China and communism, further fueled domestic fears of communism in America, contributing to the broader Red Scare atmosphere. Overall, MacArthur embodied the military's commitment to combating perceived communist threats during this tense period in U.S. history.
(Red Scare) The fear of a communist takeover was called a "Red Scare." During the late 1800s and early 1900s communists and other radical socialists chose the color "red" to symbolize their movement. Communists carried a red flag when they seized control of Russia in 1917. Many people in other countries then began to fear that the "reds" (communists) would try to takeover their country as well.After World War I, many Americans feared that communists were plotting to take control of the U.S. This fear came to be known as the Red Scare. Similar Red Scares took place after World War I in Italy and Germany. After World War II another Red Scare swept across the U.S. Americans once again feared that communist agents were sneaking into the U.S. and planning to destroy the American way of life.
The Red Scare significantly influenced the military by heightening anti-communist sentiments and leading to increased defense spending and military readiness. It resulted in the expansion of military forces and the establishment of new agencies, such as the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), to root out perceived communist influence. Additionally, the fear of espionage and infiltration prompted a focus on loyalty oaths and security clearances for military personnel. Overall, the Red Scare fostered a climate of suspicion that shaped military policies and practices during the Cold War era.
