Victory Program

The Victory Program was a military plan for the United States' involvement in World War II submitted prior to the country's official entry into the war following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Officially known as Rainbow Five, it was part of a series of color-coded war plans developed by the Joint Planning Committee. The plan was initially secret but was famously exposed by the Chicago Tribune on December 4, 1941, three days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The leak of the plan was a major political and news event in the United States.
