War Plan Red included detailed schemes to cripple Canadian infrastructure—destroying bridges, railways, and communication lines to disrupt British logistics and troop movements. These sabotage plans echoed tactics later used in World War II, where targeting supply lines proved crucial. The U.S. military understood that striking quickly at these choke points could paralyze an enemy’s ability to reinforce or resupply. This focus on infrastructure reveals how modern warfare increasingly relied on disrupting networks, not just winning battles on the ground (via CBC Archives).
