Operation Musketeer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Military history records several plans called Operation Musketeer:

  • Musketeer was a four-phased plan during World War II to liberate the Philippine Islands developed by General Douglas MacArthur’s staff as part of the larger Reno V plan. The four phases were (in sequence): King, Love, Mike, and Victor, whose names came from the spelling alphabet used by the US Army at that time. This was a very complex plan that would have required a huge number of troops and landing craft. It might be viewed as a “dream plan,” not taking into account the reality of troops, ships and other resources available. It was called Operation Montclair in some documents.
  • Operation Musketeer II, a revision of the basic plan, deleting a number of the landings.
  • Operation Musketeer III, the final revision of the Musketeer plan. Due to limited resources, the number of landings were further reduced to focus on the landings on Leyte, Luzon and Mindanao. Never executed as such, although the general concept was carried through. The landings on Leyte lured the Japanese air and sea fleets into the climatic Battle of Leyte Gulf, the militarily significant island of Luzon was taken by the King and Mike invasions. The rest of the archipelago was liberated by the Victor landings.
  • Operation Musketeer (Suez Crisis) was the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt to capture the Suez Canal during the Suez Crisis, 1956.
  • Operation Musketeer was the name given a series of underground nuclear tests conducted by the United States in Nevada during 1985-1987.
