The standard naming scheme for a military operation is "Operation: Some Phrase". Used in real life, and in any series involving spies, soldiers, and the government, or parodies thereof. Straight uses are too numerous to count, but some common subversions, variants, and spoofs come up. A Code Name for a plan instead of a person, and can follow the same conventions. Science uses an almost identical scheme, but their stuff starts with "Project:". In real life, operation names are (at least American military ones), since the first Gulf War, often optimistically descriptive (Operation Restore Hope, Operation Allied Force, Operation Iraqi Freedom [an infamous Retool from Operation Iraqi Liberation…], Operation Enduring Freedom — which was originally Operation Infinite Justice until several nations complained that only God could dispense that). The US began using marketing people to come up with these after their earlier method (a random name generator) produced "Operation: Bolton" as the name for Desert Storm (the American contribution to The Gulf War); there were fears about retaliation against the town of Bolton, and also that troops would be embarrassed to go to war in an operation named after a dreary little town in the north of England. You could argue that eventually the name becomes more of a brand name than a Code Name, particularly if very important, US-led and heavily media-covered. Wartime or covert operations are more obliquely named, with security a higher consideration than sounding cool (though let's face it, Operation Anaconda was pretty cool). The British magazine New Statesman remarked that it said a lot about the difference between American and English culture that the USA called the Iraq War "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and the UK called it "Operation Telic" (a word that means "tending to a definite end", chosen from a random list). British stuffiness in choosing operation names is only rarely subverted, usually for especially momentous moments, such as the detonation of the UK's first atom bomb, Operation Hurricane. During World War II, some British operations were entirely arbitrarily named from a big list of possible names, others were picked from vaguely related terms (Operation Dynamo for the Dunkirk evacuation took its name from the dynamo room in the naval headquarters below Dover Castle that Vice Admiral Ramsay used to plan the operation), while American ones tended to obliquely refer to the purpose (Operation Overlord as the final version of the Operation Sledgehammer proposal). Operation Market Garden, the airborne assault to push inland through the Netherlands from the Norman beaches, may have been pushing it. Winston Churchill famously cautioned his commanders against assigning "silly" or frivolous codenames to operations, on the grounds that no mother or wife ought to have to hear that their son or husband died during "Operation Bunnyhug" or "Operation Ballyhoo". An example of that is when he changed the Canadian Army's designated landing area in Normandy for "Operation Overlord" from Jelly Beach to Juno Beach, and created a honored name in Canadian history and culture. Another principle he followed was that the code names should never be words from which a clever enemy could infer the purpose of the operation. Nazi Germany, in contrast to this, did use some fairly obvious code names, such as Seelöwe ("Sealion" or "Sea-Lion") for the planned invasion of Britain, Nordlicht ("Northern Lights") for the abortive summer-1942 offensive to cut Leningrad off from its lifeline through Lake Ladoga, and Barbarossa (referring to Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I, who died en-route to the third Crusade) for the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, a name Hitler chose, supplanting the original Wehrmacht name Blau ("Blue"). Others were more ambiguous or even deliberately misleading, often implying a defensive purpose when an attack was planned, such as Weserübung ("Weser Exercise") for the invasion of Denmark and Norway, and Wacht am Rhein ("Watch on the Rhine") for the 1944 Belgian offensive. Earlier on, the General Staff had called their operations things like "Green", "White", and "Anton", and some of the later ones appeared fairly random, e. g. Merkur ("Mercury") for the airborne landing on Crete and Zitadelle ("Citadel") for the 1943 Kursk offensive. Fun fact: the German term for a military operation is Fall, or "case"; they viewed campaigns as cases to be solved. For their part, Soviet offensive codenames either were a inconsistent mix of historical figures in Russian history ("Suvorov" or "Bagration"), celestial objects ("Uranus" or "Star"), or generically geographic-temporal ("1944 summer strategic offensive operation" or "D'niepr strategic offensive operation"). They also had a habit of using numbers for their weapons development programs, especially if it involved Mnogo Nukes. For example, "Object 279" was the name for an experimental heavy tank, while "Project 1164" was used by the navy for the Slava-class cruiser. The Russian Federation continues the practice today . Most fictional Operation/Project Names fall somewhere in between all of these. The name is non-obvious, but is obliquely related to the purpose of the operation (like American WW2 names). Our Hero is mystified until he happens upon the piece of information that clues him in... Can be an example of Arc Words. Favorite things to fill in the blank: Mythological allusions, especially common if a scientist or academic named the thing, which they often do: Phoebus, Perseus, Hercules, Gemini. These are also common examples of "hero can work it out with the right information and some intuition". Animal name, with attached adjective: Stone Rhino, Burning Hawk, Concrete Donkey, Iron Serpent... Tool name: Crowbar, Hammer, Icepick... Sports position: Usually from American football, probably influenced by the real life Operation Linebacker during Vietnam. Operation Quarterback, Running Back, Pinch Hitter... Location name: Most infamously, Sedan (a 1962 nuclear weapons test, named for a city in France), which would cause an international incident when the name was entered into the United States Congressional Record as "Sudan" in 2005, leading to the question of whether the US was performing illegal tests in other countries. Common subversions, parodies, and spoofs: Extremely silly name, or overly stereotypical Too descriptive to conceal the secret nature of the plan A line of snark from the team member who thinks it's a bad idea. (e.g. "Operation This Will End Badly", "Operation Fubar", etc.) Almost illiterate in construction May sometimes begin after a Team Hand-Stack. |

The Falcon Cannot Hear sees a few of these carried out during the Second American Civil War: Operation Valley Forge: The agrarian Continental Congress carries out its first offensive of the war, taking advantage of the devastation wreaked by the harsh winter of 1938 to strike at fascist White forces in Oklahoma and Missouri. Operation Spoon: The British, in light of the collapse of MacArthur's "legitimate" military government, move in and bloodlessly seize control of the Panama Canal Zone. Operation East: The aptly named offensive by the Whites to break through Red and Blue lines on the East Coast. |

The series went totally meta with GoldenEye, which is the in-universe name of the Russian military project that forms the centrepiece of the villain's plan, and also the name of an actual operation that Ian Fleming ran while working for British Intelligence, which he then used as the name of his Jamaican estate where he wrote some of the James Bond books. | |

Homefront has Operation Water Snake, the Korean plan to divide the United States by pouring radioactive materials into the Mississippi river. The result is a massive Forbidden Zone between the western occupied zone and the remnants of the country in the east. To top this off, they carry out Operation Fan Fire every few months, setting fire to the local flora to reintroduce radioisotopes into the air, making it dangerous to even be in the area. | |

Girls und Panzer: Miho has a habit of giving her battle plans silly and/or cutesy names, like "Operation: Sneaky Sneaks", "Operation: Teasy Tease", or "Operation: More Sneaky Sneaks". Anchovy and the Anzio team instead name their battle plans after food. The "set up decoys as bait to ensnare your enemy" plan is "Operation: Macaroni". The Movie has more operations, such as "Operation: Bumpy" for the main battle, "Operation: Kill-Serve" for catapulting a Hetzer at a Morser-Karl, "Operation: Mifune" for sending a Ferris Wheel of Doom at the enemy team, and "Operation: Macaroni Zwei" for using camouflage and decoys to set up ambushes. |

Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191 series has Operation Blackbeard (the Confederacy's blitzkrieg invasion of the United States at the start of the Second Great War) and Operation Coalscuttle (the attempt by the Confederates to seize the vital industrial center of Pittsburgh). As a Genius Bonus, the former is also a slanted reference to its real-life model, WWII Germany's Operation Barbarossa, which translates to "Redbeard." | |

In Metal Wolf Chaos, the President's secretary Jodi concludes each briefing with the mission's callname, accompanied by a drumroll. These range from on-the-nose like "Operation We Love NYC" in New York City to just plain odd like "Operation Bring Fashion Back to the Street" in Beverley Hills . | |

James Bond Dr. Murik's plan to take over nuclear reactors for ransom in Licence Renewed is called Operation Meltdown. The eponymous operation in Icebreaker is a joint effort by MI6, KGB, CIA and Mossad to take down the Nazi terrorist organization NSAA. The operation itself fails since every member sans Bond is a double-agent of some kind, but the desired result is still achieved. The bad guys' plan in Role of Honour is called Operation Down Escalator, a play on the word "de-escalation". Fitting, since they plan to remove the nuclear capabilities of USA and Soviet Union. The now-defunct Operation Cream Cake in No Deals, Mr. Bond was about MI-6 setting up a false Honey Trap campaign to secure two defectors from East Germany. The operation to stop the suicide bombers and capture their leader in Scorpius is called Harvester, and the operation to stop the final one in the climax is called Last Enemy (named after a passage in The Bible, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" from First Corinthians). Win, Lose or Die opens with BAST putting the Operation WIN into action, which is just test-run for their main mission, named Operation LOSE. A small sublot in Brokenclaw is about an operation by Red China to crash the stock exchange in Wall Street, called Operation Jericho. Operation SeaFire in the eponymous book is Max Tarn's plan to test his oilspill-cleaning craft, whether it works or not (ecological disaster is still going to happen). In COLD, the eponymous organization's plan to take over United States is called Operation Blizzard, while the good guys' counter-operation is called Antifreeze. A subplot in Carte Blanche features Bond investigating a Russian operation called Steel Cartridge, which he suspects of being responsible for the deaths of his parents. The eponymous Operation: Thunderball is MI6's direct response to SPECTRE's "Plan Omega" to hijack a pair of nukes and threaten major cities for ransom — not that they know the exact name. Two or three books later, the villain refers to the events of the book, but seems to have got the two names mixed up. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, it's established that "Operation Bedlam" is the continuing pursuit of the mastermind from the previous book, and while they work out a new plan to bait him, the peculiarities of the idea lead the Chief of Staff to quip it should have been called "Bezants"; it ends up being Operation "Corona". |

In Thirteen Days about the Cuban Missile Crisis and its immediate prelude, while the Kennedy White House is trying to keep the fact that they know about the Soviets placing nuclear-capable missiles in Cuba a secret from the public in order to retain the surprise advantage until they decide upon a course on how to deal with them, the American press get a hold of US military exercises taking place in Puerto Rico called Operation Ortsac and ask the White House to comment, which catches O'Donnell and Salinger off-guard as they didn't know about it. It's just Castro spelled backwards, which makes it lazily clear that the exercises are meant to simulate invading Cuba and overthrowing Fidel in order to get rid of the missiles. The scene emphasizes both how complex the bureaucratic machine the United States government is as well as how much of a With Friends Like These... situation the Kennedy administration had with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the latter were by and large war hawks who wanted to invade Cuba by force even at risk of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. | |

The ones for regular missions are realistically random (e.g. 'Operation Cursed Jester'), storyline missions can have more meaningful names (the final mission is named 'Operation Avenger'). Missions from the DLC packs have both a fixed name ("Friends in Low Places", "Site Recon", "Deluge") and a randomly generated "operation" codename. To elaborate, the name of each operation consists of two randomly chosen words (the first and second words being chosen from different, albeit overlapping, lists). Most of the words are things that sound reasonably badass when strung together; however, it can still turn out some rather silly and/or on-the-nose ones (e.g. Romantic Night, Fallen Hero, or Sleeping Sleep). Then the sequel went and added a .2% chance of "Chicken" being selected as one of the two words... |

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged has Alucard and Walter's original mission called "Operation Kraut Control". While accurate, it's so vague that the Nazis would never have been able to figure out what it was (it was a directive to stop the Nazis from creating a vampire army). | |

The entire premise of Spy X Family follows the super spy Twilight partaking in "Operation Strix". The mission is to spy on a far-right political leader that's very reclusive, and the only way to get to him is to have a family and enroll in a presigious private school where he sometimes appears. Thus Twilight, now taking on the identity Loid Forger, finds a wife and daughter to pose as a family and forward the mission. | |

DuckTales (2017): The Gizmoduck suit was developed under the code name "Project Blatherskite", named after the phrase used to activate it. The Grand Finale revolves around "Project 87", whose name is a Mythology Gag to the original series' release date. It's an attempt to obtain a powerful magical artifact that could only be found by Scrooge's true heir by making Opposite Sex Clones of him. |

Metal Gear: Part spoof and part Shout-Out, the first mission in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is code-named "Virtuous Mission." Anyone who had been annoyed by Raiden in the previous game must've been glad to know that it was not, as Snake joked, "Virtual Mission". The second mission fits as well, being code-named "Operation Snake Eater." Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance features a plot to assassinate the U.S. President code-named "Operation Tecumseh", after a Native American leader who, according to legend, placed a curse on the American presidency. |

James Bond: Bond overhears Goldfinger talking about "Operation Grand Slam". Although he hasn't the faintest idea what it means, he's able to bluff the villain into keeping him alive purely on the basis of knowing the name. This is the same for the original novel. Also, the eponymous Thunderball is the operation involving the rescue of hijacked nuclear missiles. This is the same for the original novel. In Moonraker, Drax's plan to exterminate the human race is called "Operation Orchid", as the nerve gas he tries to use is derived from an Amazonian orchid. In For Your Eyes Only, the plan to retrieve the ATAC system from the sunken St. Georges is called "Operation Undertow" by MI6 while inOctopussy, the plan to discover what is happening to the stolen Faberge artifacts is "Operation: Trove". This is purely Rule of Drama as any real intelligence agency would avoid a Meaningful Name for their operations. Averted with the search for Blofeld which is called Operation Bedlam; that may be a Mythology Gag to how Blofeld had gone insane in the novels. The series went totally meta with GoldenEye, which is the in-universe name of the Russian military project that forms the centrepiece of the villain's plan, and also the name of an actual operation that Ian Fleming ran while working for British Intelligence, which he then used as the name of his Jamaican estate where he wrote some of the James Bond books. In an odd example, Non-Indicative Market-Based Title of Skyfall for the Latin American audiences turns it into this (Skyfall is a place - namely, the manor Bond lived in as a child and where the final battle against Silva occurs). |

Black Tide Rising: The clearance of the hospital at near-totally abandoned Guantanamo Bay for the sake of gathering materials to make a vaccine to the zombie virus is dubbed Operation Echo Bird. The mission to clear the Leeward Islands in order to secure a landing zone for the ISS evacuation capsule is given the rather on-the-nose name Operation Leeward Sweep (as Steve points out, there's not really anybody left to disguise the mission's intent from). The mission to clear and secure Mayport Naval Station is named Operation Rattlesnake. The mission to the London Research Institute to retrieve vital vaccine-making materials at the climax of Islands of Rage and Hope is retroactively revealed in Strands of Sorrow to have been called Operation Golden Lion. The systemic clearing of Marine and Navy bases along the East Coast is called Operation Swamp Fox. Steve calls his plan to create zombie-killing traps using radiation-emitting devices Project Subedey. The mission to begin clearing Washington DC is called Operation George. |

In Mass Effect 2, Cerberus was responsible for the Lazarus Project, a name with such obvious implications that Commander Shepard's resurrection was not surprising in the least.

The Mass Effect 3's single-player gets in on it, too. The project to build a superweapon from plans found in the Prothean ruins on Mars is dubbed Project Crucible. In the assault on Earth in the endgame, the three prongs of the attack receive Arms and Armor Theme Naming: "Sword", the main thrust of the allied fleet, is meant to cut a path through to the Citadel for "Shield," the force escorting the Crucible. Meanwhile "Hammer" is an all-out ground offensive by the Resistance and allied forces to get to the teleporter to the Citadel. | |

Mass Effect: In Mass Effect 2, Cerberus was responsible for the Lazarus Project, a name with such obvious implications that Commander Shepard's resurrection was not surprising in the least. DLC adds Project: Overlord, an attempt to sway the loyalty of the geth by creating a new god figure to replace Sovereign, and Project: Firewalker, an archaeological mission to recover a Prothean artifact from a volcanic world. Multiplayer events in Mass Effect 3 take this format as well, with Operation Goliath (kill 1 million of the appropriately-named Brutes), Operation Fortress, Operation Raptor, Operation Beachhead, Operation Resurgence (play on the new Resurgence maps), Operation Exorcist (kill 1 million Phantoms), Operation Silencer (kill 3 million Banshees), Operation Shieldwall, Operation Mastiff (complete 100,000 fetch quests), Operation Savage (kill 7 million Mooks), Operation Broadside, Operation Overwatch, Operation Olympus (extract from London; this operation was held during the London Olympics), Operation Alloy, Operation Patriot (full extraction with everyone playing the same non-human species), Operation Overdrive (full extraction in twenty minutes or less), Operation Bloodlust (score a gold melee medal with a krogan), Operation Valkyrie (the first operation after the Asari Valkyrie was made available and the N7 Valkyrie became an available reward), Operation Jackhammer (score 75,000 points with Biotic Charge), Operation Blast Furnace (score 75,000 points with fire-based powers), Operation Gearhead (score 75,000 points and extract 3 times with an engineer), Operation Detonator (score 20,000 points with biotic explosions), Operation Onslaught, Operation Alamo (survive 5 waves on a map unpopular with some because of how difficult it is), Operation Prophecy (on the weekend of December 21, 2012), Operation Genesis (extract with the default characters), Operation Geronimo, Operation Ballistic (score medals with any gun), Operation Firestorm (score 3 killstreaks in one match), Operation Nightfall, Operation Heartbreaker (Valentine's Day challenge), Operation Tribute (in memory of Robin Sachs), Operation Impact, and Operation Lodestar. The Mass Effect 3's single-player gets in on it, too. The project to build a superweapon from plans found in the Prothean ruins on Mars is dubbed Project Crucible. In the assault on Earth in the endgame, the three prongs of the attack receive Arms and Armor Theme Naming: "Sword", the main thrust of the allied fleet, is meant to cut a path through to the Citadel for "Shield," the force escorting the Crucible. Meanwhile "Hammer" is an all-out ground offensive by the Resistance and allied forces to get to the teleporter to the Citadel. The Leviathan DLC gives us Task Force Aurora, an Alliance team tasked with researching and following leads that can help the Alliance learn more about the Reapers. Aurora itself runs two code-named projects: Project Basilisk and Project Scarab. |

In the FreeSpace game mod Wings of Dawn, Crystal calls her plan to break through the Hertak fleet and destroy their mothership Operation: Ragnarok. The other characters note that that seems rather over-dramatic. The vanilla campaign in Freespace 2 has Project ETAK, which is believed by the GTVA to be an NTF superweapon project. It's actually not. ETAK is short for "Etamnaki", a site believed to have inspired the myth of the Tower of Babel, and the project is an attempt to communicate with the Shivans. |

Lampshaded and normally averted in Fables, when the Fabletown residents are in military mode. Normally they are very good about making sure that their operations have codenames that hold clues to their purpose, but (as Cinderella laments) the lads in charge just can't help themselves when they name their plan to isolate the Empire's capital, effectively cutting off its head, Operation Jack Ketch. Although, in all fairness, by the time the operation was well underway, not only did the Empire realise what was happening, they were pretty much powerless to prevent it. | |

Gundam: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED has ZAFT enact "Operation Spitbreak". SEED Destiny has Juna Roma name Operations after Greek mythological characters because he's a putz. Mobile Suit Gundam is full of these. Running the full gambit of blatantly obvious "Operation Odessa" target was Odessa. To completely obscure, "Operation Cembalo" named after an old musical instrument. "Operation British" and "Operation Star One" fall in the relevant, but you'd have to know category. Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is partly named after Operation Stardust, which starts with Gundamjacking a Super Prototype Gundam armed with a nuclear bazooka. |

Many on Kim Possible: Project Phoebus made Rufus a genius, and Project Ray X made a ray gun, Ray X, which was to be stored at undisclosed location, Location X, for instance. Also worth mentioning is Dr. Drakken's "Operation Catastrophic Doom". Which Shego renamed "Plan Too-Complicated-To-Actually-Work." Drakken takes it to the point of telling Shego that he needs her for "Project Gherkin" — which turns out to be getting a stuck lid off a pickle jar. Shego also once snarked to Drakken by asking how Operation-Growing-More-Ridiculous-By-The-Day was going. |

Spy Game. Bishop overhears the phrase "Dinner Out" in the back of the helicopter. The phrase works a few different ways at once: It's a Public Secret Message that his old mentor John Muir is behind the operation as Bishop had previously used the name "Dinner Out" for a covert operation in Beirut the two were involved with in the past. The previous combined with the fact that Bishop had gone Rogue Agent and had gotten himself captured by the Chinese for trying to spring Elizabeth Hadley, whom he had met in Beirut, and the fact that a long-standing rule of Muir's was "never risk yourself for an asset" meant those two words alone tell Bishop Muir is breaking his own long-standing rule to bail him out with the SEAL team rescue, which elicits a tired smile from Bishop when he puts it together. Muir used it as the just-finished operation's name to break Bishop out against the CIA heads' wishes, who wanted to let Bishop die so as not to jeopardize upcoming US-China trade talks, while in the same room as them in order to get the SEAL team in with a verbal "go" while the higher-ups present think it's just Muir talking weirdly with his wife about restaurant plans after Muir retires at the end of the day. |

The bad guys' plan in Role of Honour is called Operation Down Escalator, a play on the word "de-escalation". Fitting, since they plan to remove the nuclear capabilities of USA and Soviet Union. | |

In For Your Eyes Only, the plan to retrieve the ATAC system from the sunken St. Georges is called "Operation Undertow" by MI6 while inOctopussy, the plan to discover what is happening to the stolen Faberge artifacts is "Operation: Trove". This is purely Rule of Drama as any real intelligence agency would avoid a Meaningful Name for their operations. Averted with the search for Blofeld which is called Operation Bedlam; that may be a Mythology Gag to how Blofeld had gone insane in the novels. | |

The Greatest American Hero: The episode "Operation: Spoilsport" revolves around Ralph being ordered by the aliens who gave him the suit to stop a General Ripper from beginning World War Three. The titular operation (a NORAD plan to screw over the Russians in case of a nuclear strike by keeping a small number of missile silos independent from the rest and under orders to not launch immediately, but rather wait twenty-four hours as a surprise third strike) is his lynchpin (he will take over one of the independent silos and open fire). | |

Worldwar: War of Equals, as it presents a realistic take on how the governments of the world would react to an alien invasion, naturally has plenty of these: Operation Zeus: A joint American/Canadian operation on Race occupied Belleville which lead to several starships, including the 56th Emperor Jossano, being destroyed and Race operations in the United States being crippled. Operation Halcòn: The Mexican military attacks a Race starship landing zone near Monterrey. The attack destroys one starship and damages six more. Operation Marin: The first major victory for the European Coalition's air force and navy. The raid on Race starships in Bari destroys two starships and severely damages one which lands in the Adriatic Sea, with Europe collecting the remains of the ship and capturing the survivors. Operation Piledriver: The United States Air Force drops three MOABs on The Race spearhead in Cotulla, Texas. Operation Hermes (aka Operation Eve): Another joint American/Canadian operation, this time on Race positions between St. Louis and Jefferson City. With the enemy freezing thanks to good old mother nature, American and Canadian armored divisions and air forces strike vulnerable positions in occupied territory while ground and special forces are inserted into key positions behind enemy lines and destroy anti-armor and anti-air emplacements. The operation was a success and gives the American people the best Christmas gift they could ask for: the gift of a huge victory. |

Classified items in The Laundry Files usually use a fairly descriptive codename, but it also seems that the more significant something is, the shorter its codename. CANDID and TEAPOT are high-value assets within the agency, the Higher-Tech Species that lives in the deep ocean is codenamed BLUE HADES, while the species that lives underground and is at war with BLUE HADES but has no contact with humans is ANNING RED SKULL. However, it is noted that many of the codenames given in the books are not the real ones. The Framing Device is that the books are Bob's semi-official journals, and a lot of the things he has worked on are so deeply classified even the codenames are need-to-know. This, along with Bob's love of pop culture, leads to the case of a mogul using ritual magic to turn himself into a James Bond villain being codenamed BROCCOLI GOLDENEYE, former criminal mastermind turned ritual mage Persephone Hazard being codenamed BASHFUL INCENDIARY and two projects involving vampires are DRESDEN RICE and OPERA CAPE respectively. | |

The plot of Scooby Apocalypse is driven by the fallout from Project Elysium, a secret project conceived by a private think tank (which Velma was part of) to use a nanite plague to remove people's negative impulses and emotions, thus bringing about world peace. Then the Four, Velma's superiors and her brothers decided to instead alter the nanites to remove The Evils of Free Will, allowing them to rule the world. And somehow, their mucking with the nanites somehow caused them to turn the infected into monsters instead. | |

Space: Above and Beyond gives us "Operation Roundhammer", the code-name for an all-out assault on The Chig Homeworld. For bonus points, the moon that the operation is planned to be launched from is code-named "Anvil". The operation is even mentioned in foreshadowing earlier in the series, with earlier missions being stated to be in support of it, without revealing to the viewers just what Roundhammer was supposed to accomplish until the penultimate episode of the series. note They are forced to abort the operation when the Chigs find out about it and sue for peace, only for the negotiations to break down in bloodshed and renewed war. Given the show's love of historical references, Operation Roundhammer is a likely reference to Operation Sledgehammer, a planned (but aborted) 1942 Allied invasion of occupied France. |

Shin Godzilla. Noting that "A strategy to administer a coagulate to freeze and thus render the creature immobile" is something of a mouthful, the main protagonist decides to call it Operation Yashiori, after the sake used to intoxicate a famous Japanese monster of legend. | |

One episode of Blackadder Goes Forth ends with a vengeful Blackadder "volunteering" George and Baldrick to take part in a mission codenamed Operation Certain Death. In "General Hospital", Melchett tells Blackadder that if he succeeds in finding the spy, he will be head of Operation Winkle, to winkle out the spies. | |

Child of the Storm: Chapters 42 and 43 see SHIELD and MI13 enacting Operation Overlord, a full scale global roll up of HYDRA's resources and assets. The name is a deliberate Call-Back to the official name of the D-Day landings, meant to insult HYDRA due to their Nazi origins (and judging by Von Strucker's and Zemo's reactions, it works). The Final Battle reveals the existence of Project Prometheus, an Iron Man suit Tony designed and keep secreted away at Hogwarts in case of god-level threats, created by combining bleeding edge science and top notch magic from both Earth and Asgard, as well as Project Wolftrap, MI13's special failsafe for the defense of London, which turns out to be a re-commissioned and radically updated HMS Belfast. There's also repeated mentions of Project Pegasus, a government attempt at creating a magical Super-Soldier. According to Coulson, who was there at the time, they succeeded, which was the problem; the place became an Eldritch Location that Alan Scott had to seal off. A major plot point in the sequel Ghosts of the Past during the "Forever Red" arc is Project Krysnyy Syn (Red Son), the Red Room's equivalent to Project Pegasus — an attempt to create a superpowered Super-Soldier to act as an upgrade/replacement to the Winter Soldier. Like Project Pegasus, it goes horribly, horribly right. At the climax of the sequel's "Of Dungeons and Dragons" arc, we're introduced to Project Galahad, a suit of Powered Armor created for Harry by Tony and Jane combining Iron Man tech with Asgardian Magitek. |

Operations Hard Hat I and II: Strategic use of US superbombs to destroy the primary Unit 731 facilities in Manchukuo.

Operation Tunnel: The CDS, Russians, and newly established Republic of China make their final push on remaining Japanese forces in northern China. Operation Tiger Shark: A CDS-Russian amphibious invasion of Hokkaido. Operation Vengeance: The Russian liberation of the Kurile islands, with some naval and air support from the US. Operation Cassowary: CDS forces invade the Indonesian islands still being controlled by Japanese warlords. Operation Scorpion: Vietnamese and CDS forces make their final push on Japanese-controlled Saigon. Operation Starfish: The CDS, along with a sizable force of defectors from the Japanese Navy, invade Filipino territory held by the local Japanese warlord. Operation Cobra: A surprise CDS amphibious invasion of Singapore. Operation Kaiser's Landing: The European Community's invasion of Civil War-torn South Africa to topple the remains of the Apartheid government and bring all the belligerent militias to heel. Operation Sea Snake: A Russian amphibious invasion of Georgia (the Asian one) from the Black Sea. Operation Vijayangara: A massive Baharti offensive into Pakistan aimed at seizing Karachi. |

Dr. Strangelove: "Operation Drop-Kick" was an exercise conducted by the bomber squadron from Burpleson AFB who were airborne over the Arctic Circle near Russia. It called for the squadron to maintain their positions unless Wing Attack Plan R (the "go" code to attack Russia) was initiated which is in the event that Washington was attacked by enemy planes and the normal chain of command was disrupted. Burpleson's General Ripper initiates Plan R but for the wrong reasons. | |

In Mega Man Zero 2, there's Elpizo's "Operation Righteous Strike", which is essentially an invasion by La Résistance of Neo Arcadia. The operation fails horribly, with many redshirts dead and Zero having to rescue Elpizo before he's killed by the Guardians, which also directly influences Elpizo's Face–Heel Turn to obtain the Dark Elf to get revenge for his failure. In the drama tracks, there's "Project Elpizo", the project that instigated the creation of the "Sigma Antibody Program", Mother Elf. TK-31 (Elpizo's former codename) accidentally found the data about this project, and because it's supposed to be a secret for Neo Arcadia, he's declared a Maverick by Harpuia. Eventually, he managed to run away from the country and changed his name into... you know... As well as starting his quest for power by stealing the Baby Elves. |

South Park: In the "Imaginationland" Trilogy, the army uses such operations as "Project: Imagination Doorway" and "Operation: Blow up Imaginationland with a Nuclear Missile", which are exactly what they sound like. In "The List" Cartman comes up with "Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail", to steal the titular list from the girls. This involves a Groin Attack on the girl carrying The List and taking it. When that doesn't work, Cartman instigates Plan B, "Operation: Cannot Possibly Fail A Second Time." |

Once Upon a Time: In season 1, Henry calls his efforts to break the curse "Operation Cobra". This would wind up the first of many. Season 2 features "Operation Scorpion" (to rescue Emma and Mary Margaret from the Enchanted Forest) and "Operation Praying Mantis" (to figure out what Neal's fiancee Tamara is up to). In season 3, as a tribute, Regina calls the attempt to rescue Henry "Operation Henry". She sadly muses that Henry himself would have thought of a better name. Season 4's mission to write a happy ending for Regina is called "Operation Mongoose". This one was also her idea as opposed to his (though he approved). Season 5's first mission, to rid Emma of the Dark One's powers, is called "Operation Light Swan". In season 5's second half, when the heroes' journey to The Underworld to rescue Hook grows to include redeeming and releasing as many of the trapped souls there as possible, Henry christens the plan "Operation Firebird". The fifth season finale sees a post-Despair Event Horizon Henry embark on a desperate plot to destroy all magic, which he codenames "Operation Mix Tape" (mostly to impress his crush Violet, with whom he bonded over a mix tape). After an influx of refugees from the Land of Untold Stories arrive in Storybrooke, the heroes determine to help them find their happy endings. Naturally, Henry dubs this "Operation Cobra part II". When Hook asks Henry to play a role in his and Emma's wedding, he jokingly refers to it as "Operation Best Man", which Henry is very happy to take part in. In the sixth season finale, the Black Fairy's curse has altered reality so Emma is locked up in a mental hospital. Henry calls his attempt to break her out "Operation One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Season 7 shows that even as an adult, Henry hasn't outgrown this habit, referring to his mission to reunite with Cinderella as "Operation Glass Slipper". When Regina tags along to help with this, as well as to finally find her own happy ending, Henry dubs it "Operation Next Chapter". Later in Season 7, as Lucy and Regina team up to find a way to break the new curse that won't result in Gothel's magic poison killing Henry, they dub it "Operation Hyacinth", after the flower Henry gave Cinderella as their first present. |

The Murderbot Diaries. In Exit Strategy, Murderbot mentally dubs the plan to rescue Dr. Mensah as Operation Not A Completely Terrible Plan. When things (inevitably) go wrong Murderbot changes this to Plan Approaching Terrible. | |

Yuri of Angel Beats! always gives her missions these names. Very frequently, as with Operation Tornado (using fans to steal meal tickets) and Operation Monster Stream (fishing), the names are Mundane Made Awesome. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam is full of these. Running the full gambit of blatantly obvious "Operation Odessa" target was Odessa. To completely obscure, "Operation Cembalo" named after an old musical instrument. "Operation British" and "Operation Star One" fall in the relevant, but you'd have to know category. | |

The eponymous operation in Icebreaker is a joint effort by MI6, KGB, CIA and Mossad to take down the Nazi terrorist organization NSAA. The operation itself fails since every member sans Bond is a double-agent of some kind, but the desired result is still achieved. | |

Josie and the Pussycats has Fiona planning "Operation: Big Concert", where she plans to brainwash both those at the concert and those watching at home with special earphones that transmit subliminal messages. The messages aren't broadcast in the end, but we do get to hear them— it's all to make people like Fiona and think she's their friend. Evil Is Petty at its finest. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In the two-part episode "Scorpion", Janeway's contingency plan for the Borg's inevitable betrayal in Part II is code-named "Scorpion", after Chakotay's fable about "the frog and the scorpion" from Part I. "Dark Frontier", the plan to steal a transwarp coil from the Borg is called "Operation Fort Knox," after the American gold depository that not even the Ferengi could break into. |

Mega Man: In Mega Man Zero 2, there's Elpizo's "Operation Righteous Strike", which is essentially an invasion by La Résistance of Neo Arcadia. The operation fails horribly, with many redshirts dead and Zero having to rescue Elpizo before he's killed by the Guardians, which also directly influences Elpizo's Face–Heel Turn to obtain the Dark Elf to get revenge for his failure. In the drama tracks, there's "Project Elpizo", the project that instigated the creation of the "Sigma Antibody Program", Mother Elf. TK-31 (Elpizo's former codename) accidentally found the data about this project, and because it's supposed to be a secret for Neo Arcadia, he's declared a Maverick by Harpuia. Eventually, he managed to run away from the country and changed his name into... you know... As well as starting his quest for power by stealing the Baby Elves. Mega Man ZX has Serpent's Evil Plan code-named "Project Haven", which would lead to the creation of the ultimate Mega Man and destined ruler of the world...by awaking the Model W Core and using it to feast on the souls of countless innocent humans and reploids for power. Aptly enough, Vent/Aile's goal is to keep this from happening at all costs and inadvertently help him finally wake it up in the end before killing him. |

Horizon Zero Dawn: The eponymous "Zero Dawn" is the name of an actual In-Universe project meant to revive the biosphere and humanity after all of is killed off by The End of the World as We Know It. The events of the game happen hundreds of years after the Project came to fruition. Operation: Enduring Victory was the worldwide military operation supporting Zero Dawn, aimed at convincing millions if not billions of people to take up arms and hold off the Faro Swarm for as long as possible. Which they did. | |

Queen of All Oni: Jade's Batman Gambit to get one of the masks on one of the heroes and use them to infiltrate Section 13 and steal the other masks is called "Operation Steel Lightning". Her Quirky Miniboss Squad are quick to point out that the name makes no sense whatsoever and suggest more fitting alternatives, but she shoots them all down — she chose the name because it sounds cool, so she's keeping it. It's revealed in a later chapter that Jade's attempts to find the location of the second tablet of the Teachings of Eternal Shadow is called "Operation Blazing Wolf"; no one comments on the name this time. During the above, Jade name drops something in the works called "Operation Painted Lemur" (Tohru is stunned by the absurdity of the name, and Right agrees with him) which eventually turns out to be her plan to brainwash and transform Viper into a Shadowkhan General. There's also "Operation Chirping Chipmunk", which was apparently a plan to trick the J-Team into thinking that Viper became Hebi voluntarily. However, Hak Foo's angry ranting after getting stuck with the Mini Khan includes the fact that Viper was brainwashed, which kills that plan before it can even happen. However, Jade's plans for the Final Battle break this pattern, as it's simply called "Operation Endgame". Right lampshades the previous examples, though, when he jokingly suggests the alternative names "Operation Delayed Reaction", "Operation Coupon Cash-In", and "Operation Tea Drinking Rhino". |

1632: Don Fransisco Nasi, the USE's spymaster, refers to the operation he put in place to dismantle potentially violent anti-Semitic organizations within the USE as Operation Crystal Night. Nasi is a Sephardic Jew, and well read on the topic of anti-Semitism in the 20th century, and states that the choice of code name was very much deliberate. | |

In City of Heroes, the covert paramilitary force known as the Malta Operatives uses realistically obscure codenames. For instance, the World Wide Red arc involves three groups, Kingdom, Omnivore, and Dreadnaught, with the middle group working on Project Wildflower. Kingdom was tasked with destabilizing US/China relations, which was the political end of the operation. Omnivore was responsible for deploying the nanotech weapon which would be used to kill people, mostly supers, on demand, i.e. it could eat anything. Dreadnaught's job was to prepare Kronos-class Titans, giant robots with the firepower of a battleship, which fits the name fairly obviously. | |
