Broadly stated, a war book is a document which attempts to anticipate and list-the measures that will probably have to be taken to meet an emergency that might or does lead to war, and to assign responsibility for executing the measures. The measures to be taken by the Government of Canada in an emergency that might or does lead to war are set forth in two sets of documents, namely: (a) The Government War Book - This book states, in general terms, the measures that may be required in an emergency and indicates the department or agency of government responsible for plans for particular measures. (b) The Departmental War Books - These books, drawn up by each department or agency of government, elaborate the details of execution of measures assigned by the Government War Book, and, in turn, assign responsibility for execution to appropriate units of the department or agency. 2. Because of the magnitude of responsibility of the Department of National Defence in time of emergency and the way the Department is organized, the Department of National Defence War Book is broken down into five books, commonly referred to as: (a) The DND War Book -.This book covers the measures for which the Minister, the Deputy Minister, the Chairman Chiefs of Staff, and the Chiefs of Staff Committee have a responsibility. (b) The RCN, Army and RCAF War Books - These three books cover the measures for which the Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of General Staff and Chief of the Air Staff, • respectively, have a responsibility, (c) The DRB War Book - This book covers the measures for which the Chairman, Defence Research Board, has a responsibility. In addition to their war books, the Services have plans covering the raising, equipping and. use of Canadian forces in an emergency. Execution of War Plans 3. To appreciate how the DND War Book is to be used, it is necessary to understand the sequence of events which it is assumed, for planning purposes, vail occur in time of emergency. These are as follows: (a) The Chiefs of Staff will keep the international military situation under continuous review, and on the basis of the advice tendered by them the Chiefs of Staff Committee will, under normal conditions, request the Minister to declare or relax, as appropriate, a State of Military Vigilance. In an emergency, the Chiefs of Staff Committee will carry out this function (see paras 2.01 and 2.04 of this war book). There are two phases of the States of Military Vigilance System: U» So* »'•*. tlw %J l.n \a* 000040 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET DEPARTMENT OP NATIONAL DEPENCE WAR BOOK (i) DISCREET Phase - This consists of measures that would hot alarm the public or give intelligence to an enemy. (ii) READY Phase - This consists of certain other purely military measures that cah be implemented without the formal declaration of an alert by the Canadian Government, and do not require Order in Council action. The States of Military Vigilance System is designed for a period of delicate international relations and consists of purely military precautionary measures which can be kept up for a fairly long time without ill effects and which would facilitate a rapid transition, if necessary, to one of the Formal Alert System stages. (Authority has also been given by the Chiefs of Staff Committee to Force Commanders to order a State of Military Vlgllanoe within their own Commands if information of impending attack is received by them.) (b) A minister of the Crown is expeoted to report to Cabinet any situation that he considers constitutes an emergency threatening the security of Canada and to make recommendations to deal with same. In turn, it is the responsibility of all officers of the Crown, through appropriate ohannels, to draw the attention of the Minister to any threatening situation. (The responsibility of ministers and officers of the Crown in this matter Is reflected In paras 2.01 and 2.03 of this war book.) (c) Cabinet will consider the representations made to it and will decide on a course of action. If the international situation is sufficiently ominous, the course of action may be to call a Formal Alert Stage. There are three successively more serious Formal Alert Stages. (1) SIMPLE Alert - To be initiated on receipt of credible information indicating definite preparation to attack NATO or on the existence of international tension on a scale anywhere In the world that might have serious consequences to Canada. (2) REINFORCED Alert - To be initiated when there is conclusive indication that the outbreak of hostilities is imminent. (3) GENERAL Alert - To be initiated when an overt act of aggression takes place In the NATO area or in any area where the consequences would affect Canada in the same way as an attack on NATO. It should be noted that a Formal Alert Stage is declared by the Government and applies to all parts of the public service, while a State of Military Vigllanoe is declared within the Department of National Defence and does not affect the oivillan component of the public service except at a few points. vUvKCI 000041 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET PACE 3 DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE WAR BOOK 4« It should not be assumed that States of Military Vigilance and Formal Alert Stages will necessarily be called in sequence. For example, the-first Formal Alert called may be REINFORCED or GENERAL, or the SIMPLE followed by the GENERAL* Depending on how the international emergency develops, a considerable or very little time may elapse between the Formal Alert Stages. A relaxation of the Formal Alert Stage may be directed, .proceeding from a SIMPLE or other Formal Alert Stage to a State of Military Vigilance or to normal peacetime conditions. 5* Nor should it be assumed that the States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages are exclusive* Thus, during a SIMPLE Alert, it might be appropriate not to execute certain measures designated for the SIMPLE Alert and to execute certain measures designated as falling in the REINFORCED Alert. On the other hand, when a REINFORCED or GENERAL Alert is declared, it should be assumed that this declaration carries with it authority to execute or complete the execution of any measures in a lesser State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert Stage that may still be required, (see para 10 of this introduction). A check should accordingly be made that no relevant measures in a lesser State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert Stage are being passed over. 6. Under conditions of a sudden emergency or a surprise attack an orderly initiation of the Formal Alert Measures at the ministerial level may not be capable of realization. This does not absolve officers of the Crown from action. The officers designated in this war book - or their successors - will then initiate emergency measures to the extent and in the manner which circumstances appear to warrant until communication with higher authority is again established. Authority to Execute Measures in the DND War Book 7. The calling of a State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert " Stage implies that a set of measures appropriate to the gravity of the situation will be undertaken. It is the responsibility of ministers and senior officers of the Crown to determine the measures undertaken and their timing. The DND War Book and the plans that support it, are prepared to assist in discharging this responsibility expeditiously. 8. To facilitate the task of senior officers of the Department of National Defence in time of emergency, probable defence measures have been evaluated and compiled by States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages. The measures enumerated and their grouping are considered appropriate for a deteriorating military situation that may result in a general war. The exact measures to be executed, their sequence and their timing will normally be subjects for collective or individual decision by the Minister and the senior officers of the Department in the light of the actual emergency that develops. 9. In summary, this book is an aide memoire to assist the Minister and his principal advisers in deciding what actions might be appropriate in a given emergency, and a convenient means of coordinating the development of plans against any emergency; it also constitutes a standing authority for the officers designated herein to take appropriate action in an emergency should no other.orders be received. %3*fc v* K.fz r 000042 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information SECRET t t u k DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE WAR BOOK Arrangement of Material in DND War Book 10* Defence measures in the DND War Book are arranged in the same sequence as in other war books of the Department* The book has five major divisions, as follows: (a) Part I - A listing of the measures that it is foreseen may have to be taken as the international situation deteriorates into a major war* The measures are categorized by the States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages* The basis on which measures have been allocated to the various categories is as follows: DISCREET Vigilance Measures which are aimed at increasing security and adjusting defence plans in the light of the developing emergency; READY Vigilance Measures which are those preliminary steps taken to place Canadian forces in a position to meet overt attack* SIMPLE Alert Measures which are those additional steps to be taken by DND once the Government has placed all governmental departments on this first stage of alert; REINFORCED Alert Measures which are intended to ready the Services for imminent war and to obtain authority for the mobilization of additional resources should war occur; GENERAL Alert Measures Which include all measures executed immediately hostilities begin and which place the Department on a war footing. (b) Part II - A listing of the same measures found in Part I, but grouped by subject-matter rather than by urgency of need to execute. As a result, Part II and the list of States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Measures are two classifications of the same set of emergency actions and are accordingly completely cross-referenced for flexibility of use. It should be noted, however, that Part II contains the precisely worded statement of an emergency measure and should prevail, for purposes of interpretation, over the wording used in the list of States of Military Vigilance and Formal Alert Measures. The latter has been abridged for the sake of brevity. (° ) Part III consists of measures that have not been phased by the States of Military Vigilance or the Formal Alert Stages. These are measures that it is unlikely will have to be acted on in the first few days of a general war, but for which it is nevertheless considered desirable to develop emergency plans in some detail, so that when the measures have to be taken in hand they can be acted on more expeditiously.

Broadly stated, a war book is a document which attempts to anticipate and list-the measures that will probably have to be taken to meet an emergency that might or does lead to war, and to assign responsibility for executing the measures. The measures to be taken by the Government of Canada in an emergency that might or does lead to war are set forth in two sets of documents, namely: (a) The Government War Book - This book states, in general terms, the measures that may be required in an emergency and indicates the department or agency of government responsible for plans for particular measures. (b) The Departmental War Books - These books, drawn up by each department or agency of government, elaborate the details of execution of measures assigned by the Government War Book, and, in turn, assign responsibility for execution to appropriate units of the department or agency. 2. Because of the magnitude of responsibility of the Department of National Defence in time of emergency and the way the Department is organized, the Department of National Defence War Book is broken down into five books, commonly referred to as: (a) The DND War Book -.This book covers the measures for which the Minister, the Deputy Minister, the Chairman Chiefs of Staff, and the Chiefs of Staff Committee have a responsibility. (b) The RCN, Army and RCAF War Books - These three books cover the measures for which the Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of General Staff and Chief of the Air Staff, • respectively, have a responsibility, (c) The DRB War Book - This book covers the measures for which the Chairman, Defence Research Board, has a responsibility. In addition to their war books, the Services have plans covering the raising, equipping and. use of Canadian forces in an emergency. Execution of War Plans 3. To appreciate how the DND War Book is to be used, it is necessary to understand the sequence of events which it is assumed, for planning purposes, vail occur in time of emergency. These are as follows: (a) The Chiefs of Staff will keep the international military situation under continuous review, and on the basis of the advice tendered by them the Chiefs of Staff Committee will, under normal conditions, request the Minister to declare or relax, as appropriate, a State of Military Vigilance. In an emergency, the Chiefs of Staff Committee will carry out this function (see paras 2.01 and 2.04 of this war book). There are two phases of the States of Military Vigilance System: U» So* »'•*. tlw %J l.n \a* 000040 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET DEPARTMENT OP NATIONAL DEPENCE WAR BOOK (i) DISCREET Phase - This consists of measures that would hot alarm the public or give intelligence to an enemy. (ii) READY Phase - This consists of certain other purely military measures that cah be implemented without the formal declaration of an alert by the Canadian Government, and do not require Order in Council action. The States of Military Vigilance System is designed for a period of delicate international relations and consists of purely military precautionary measures which can be kept up for a fairly long time without ill effects and which would facilitate a rapid transition, if necessary, to one of the Formal Alert System stages. (Authority has also been given by the Chiefs of Staff Committee to Force Commanders to order a State of Military Vlgllanoe within their own Commands if information of impending attack is received by them.) (b) A minister of the Crown is expeoted to report to Cabinet any situation that he considers constitutes an emergency threatening the security of Canada and to make recommendations to deal with same. In turn, it is the responsibility of all officers of the Crown, through appropriate ohannels, to draw the attention of the Minister to any threatening situation. (The responsibility of ministers and officers of the Crown in this matter Is reflected In paras 2.01 and 2.03 of this war book.) (c) Cabinet will consider the representations made to it and will decide on a course of action. If the international situation is sufficiently ominous, the course of action may be to call a Formal Alert Stage. There are three successively more serious Formal Alert Stages. (1) SIMPLE Alert - To be initiated on receipt of credible information indicating definite preparation to attack NATO or on the existence of international tension on a scale anywhere In the world that might have serious consequences to Canada. (2) REINFORCED Alert - To be initiated when there is conclusive indication that the outbreak of hostilities is imminent. (3) GENERAL Alert - To be initiated when an overt act of aggression takes place In the NATO area or in any area where the consequences would affect Canada in the same way as an attack on NATO. It should be noted that a Formal Alert Stage is declared by the Government and applies to all parts of the public service, while a State of Military Vigllanoe is declared within the Department of National Defence and does not affect the oivillan component of the public service except at a few points. vUvKCI 000041 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET PACE 3 DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE WAR BOOK 4« It should not be assumed that States of Military Vigilance and Formal Alert Stages will necessarily be called in sequence. For example, the-first Formal Alert called may be REINFORCED or GENERAL, or the SIMPLE followed by the GENERAL* Depending on how the international emergency develops, a considerable or very little time may elapse between the Formal Alert Stages. A relaxation of the Formal Alert Stage may be directed, .proceeding from a SIMPLE or other Formal Alert Stage to a State of Military Vigilance or to normal peacetime conditions. 5* Nor should it be assumed that the States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages are exclusive* Thus, during a SIMPLE Alert, it might be appropriate not to execute certain measures designated for the SIMPLE Alert and to execute certain measures designated as falling in the REINFORCED Alert. On the other hand, when a REINFORCED or GENERAL Alert is declared, it should be assumed that this declaration carries with it authority to execute or complete the execution of any measures in a lesser State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert Stage that may still be required, (see para 10 of this introduction). A check should accordingly be made that no relevant measures in a lesser State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert Stage are being passed over. 6. Under conditions of a sudden emergency or a surprise attack an orderly initiation of the Formal Alert Measures at the ministerial level may not be capable of realization. This does not absolve officers of the Crown from action. The officers designated in this war book - or their successors - will then initiate emergency measures to the extent and in the manner which circumstances appear to warrant until communication with higher authority is again established. Authority to Execute Measures in the DND War Book 7. The calling of a State of Military Vigilance or Formal Alert " Stage implies that a set of measures appropriate to the gravity of the situation will be undertaken. It is the responsibility of ministers and senior officers of the Crown to determine the measures undertaken and their timing. The DND War Book and the plans that support it, are prepared to assist in discharging this responsibility expeditiously. 8. To facilitate the task of senior officers of the Department of National Defence in time of emergency, probable defence measures have been evaluated and compiled by States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages. The measures enumerated and their grouping are considered appropriate for a deteriorating military situation that may result in a general war. The exact measures to be executed, their sequence and their timing will normally be subjects for collective or individual decision by the Minister and the senior officers of the Department in the light of the actual emergency that develops. 9. In summary, this book is an aide memoire to assist the Minister and his principal advisers in deciding what actions might be appropriate in a given emergency, and a convenient means of coordinating the development of plans against any emergency; it also constitutes a standing authority for the officers designated herein to take appropriate action in an emergency should no other.orders be received. %3*fc v* K.fz r 000042 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information SECRET t t u k DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE WAR BOOK Arrangement of Material in DND War Book 10* Defence measures in the DND War Book are arranged in the same sequence as in other war books of the Department* The book has five major divisions, as follows: (a) Part I - A listing of the measures that it is foreseen may have to be taken as the international situation deteriorates into a major war* The measures are categorized by the States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Stages* The basis on which measures have been allocated to the various categories is as follows: DISCREET Vigilance Measures which are aimed at increasing security and adjusting defence plans in the light of the developing emergency; READY Vigilance Measures which are those preliminary steps taken to place Canadian forces in a position to meet overt attack* SIMPLE Alert Measures which are those additional steps to be taken by DND once the Government has placed all governmental departments on this first stage of alert; REINFORCED Alert Measures which are intended to ready the Services for imminent war and to obtain authority for the mobilization of additional resources should war occur; GENERAL Alert Measures Which include all measures executed immediately hostilities begin and which place the Department on a war footing. (b) Part II - A listing of the same measures found in Part I, but grouped by subject-matter rather than by urgency of need to execute. As a result, Part II and the list of States of Military Vigilance and the Formal Alert Measures are two classifications of the same set of emergency actions and are accordingly completely cross-referenced for flexibility of use. It should be noted, however, that Part II contains the precisely worded statement of an emergency measure and should prevail, for purposes of interpretation, over the wording used in the list of States of Military Vigilance and Formal Alert Measures. The latter has been abridged for the sake of brevity. (° ) Part III consists of measures that have not been phased by the States of Military Vigilance or the Formal Alert Stages. These are measures that it is unlikely will have to be acted on in the first few days of a general war, but for which it is nevertheless considered desirable to develop emergency plans in some detail, so that when the measures have to be taken in hand they can be acted on more expeditiously.

Revised Department of National Defence War Book 1. The War Books currently in use in the Department of National Defence were adopted, in 1955, for the development of emergency defence plans and for their execution when the need should arise. The Department of National Defence War Book and the Service War Books were based on a set of Canadian Alert Measures which Cabinet Defence Committee approved in principle at its meeting of 7 June 1955o 2. It has been considered necessary to revise the existing version of the DND War Book to reflect advanced tactical and strategical developments. 3. The 1955 DND War Book was based on the Formal Alert System, i.e., Simple, Reinforced and General Alerts, with appropriate measures to be taken for. each alert. Because declaration of a Formal Alert may unnecessarily alarm the public and contribute to an increase in international tensions, it is considered that arrangements should be made to take, if required, certain measures without instituting a Formal Alert. To meet this requirement the Revised DND War Book incorporates a system of "States of Military Vigilance" which are applicable to the Armed Forces only. This system is similar to that adopted within the major NATO command areas. The important features of the system are given in Appendix "A". 4o While a Formal Alert Stage, will be declared by the Government, it is proposed that the,„Minister of National Defence would normally authorize the declaration of a State of Military Vigilance. 5. Approval for the draft submissions for the Orders-inCouncil at Annex I to the Department of National Defence War Book is not being sought at this time. These particular draft submissions are now under review and will be dealt with separately. •. 6. The Chiefs of Staff recommend, and I concur,- that: a) the Canadian Government approve, in principle, the concept of the States of Military Vigilance as.contained in the Department of National Dei%nce War Book; b) the Department of National Defence War Book be approved in principle and be used for the revision of the appropriate chapters of the 194# Government War Book. 'The Minister Department of National Defence, Ottawa, 9 January 1962. 000034 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information SECRET APPENDIX "A" To Memorandum to the Cabinet Defence Committee Dated 1# December 1961 Important Features of the States of Military Vigilance 1. There would be two stages incorporated in the States of Military Vigilances i) ii) DISCREET Phase - this consists of measures that would not alarm the public or give intelligence to an enemy| READY Phase - this consists of certain other purely military measures that can be implemented without the formal declaration of an alert by the Canadian Government and do not require Orderin-Council action. There would be no public announcement of the declaration or relaxation of either. The declaration of a State of Military Vigilance would not involve the automatic execution of all the measures in that state of vigilance. Rather, measures would be applied or relaxed selectively and progressively as the international situation changed. In this way« it would be possible to undertake quick, precautionary action in the event of incipient international crises. Furthermore, the Military Vigilance Measures are of a type that can be sustained for a prolonged periods, if necessary. Recent examples where a State of Military Vigilance could have been appropriately applied have been the crises which have developed in the Suez, Hungary, Lebanon, the Congo and Laos. 2. In general, the States of Military Vigilance depict action that would be taken by any prudent military commander in the circumstances indicated. They may take the form of a review of defence plans, the execution of defence plans in the form of exercises, the tightening up of security precautions, an increase in the operational readiness of headquarters and units, the re-deployment of forces within certain limits, etc. 3. The States of Military Vigilance would apply to the Armed Forces only, and would not involve, except incidentally, any other parts of the public service. A list of the measures in the Discreet and Ready States of Military Vigilance, which it is proposed to be incorporated in the DND War Book, is contained in the first two sections of Chapter I, Part I.

You will, of course^ be interested in the authority for declaring various states of vigilance and alert. Essentially the control is left in the hands of the Minister orvNational Defence at the earlier stages, with power for\the Chiefs of Staff to act in an emergency. PorNthe formal alerts, it is apparently necessary for tne Cabinet (or presumably yourself) to agree to the sailing of an alert but this point should be quite clear, The first stage of military vig\lance known as "DISCREET" is not intended to cause ar public alarm or significant reaction by a potential 000030 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation - 2 enemy but; it is out about\it if is alert. \ reasonable that or those acting to declare this* possible that something will leak the press or foreign intelligence On the whole I think it is the Minister of National Defence on his behalf should be permitted degree of vigilance themselves. Thev "READY" state of vigilance is almost certain to ^become public knowledge and I would think it should be understood that if it is at all possibles, the Minister of National Defence would consult >fche Prime Minister before moving to this degree a£ readiness. We will have^a similar problem in regard-to our civilian measures and departments. They do not pose nearly as roach of a problem in the early stages of vigilance\as do the military ones and I would suggest that t>hey be taken up subsequent to the discussion of\he military measures. I have already indica^d to the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff, thatVe would like an opportunity to look at these measu: s on the civilian side before the Governmen decides on them. He understands that this is sirable and says there is no immediate rush in ha\ing these approved.

Comments on DND War Book 1. States of military vigilance can be initiated by the Minister of National Defence or the Chiefs of Staff Committee, and through this declaration they are implicating other federal departments without Cabinet approval. In view of this, it would appear necessary to have approval approval by the Cabinet or the Cabinet Defence Committee before other departments are implicated In national defence mobilization. 2. It is apparent that DND are anticipating that the \ War Measures Act will have been declared during a reinforced I r- — _—- , _ _ _ i alert as their plans are based on having orders in council \y I approved under the act during a reinforced alert(page 27, |para 6.02 and page 20 para 7.01(f)), 3. Manning of emergency headquarters on a discreet- state of military vigilance should be clarified. If it includes the manning of national emergency headquarters at the central and regional level this will conflict with EMO manning plans. 4. By order in council (Annex lie)» under the National Defence Act DND will have authority to take over property, including communications and transportation facilities, at a Simple Alert which would likely be before the Government control agencies have been constituted under the War Measures Act. This should be examined by DPW, ESPB and DOT.

CURRY 6A Re: DND War Book The DND War Book has been reviewed by Messrs. Bunting and Atkins (comments attached) and the undersigned. The following is a summary of our findings and recommendations: (1) States of Military Vigilance - The recommended adoption of the States of Military Vigilance applicable to the Armed Forces only and similar to that adopted within the NATO Command areas should be considered favourably, since it becomes essential nowadays, with the possible short period of warning, to take discreet precautionary steps and check plans in order to bring them up-to-date before taking overt action. These States of Vigilance could well be declared under the authority of the Minister of National Defence, as long as he has received authority to do so beforehand, with a clear understanding of actions to be taken under each State. The manning of emergency headquarters under the READY State (see DV12, page?) should specify military headquarters. If they mean to include civilian emergency headquarters, both central and regional, similar authority should be given to the civilian elements to initiate manning with a skeleton staff. If the rotational plan for manning the Readiness Units is in being, it should be considered the equivalent and there would be no need for further action on the civilian side as regard the central facilities (the READY State is equivalent to the recommended EMO Readiness 3)« In fact with our rotational plan we have received approval for a similar type of action as DND is now requesting, at the national level, but not so for the manning of the regional emergency headquarters. We should be ready to support in principle the DND recommendation in paragraph 6 (a) of the Memorandum to the Cabinet Defence Committee of January 9> 1962, on the concept of the States of Military Vigilance and give consideration to granting a similar authority to move a small civilian skeleton staff to* the regional emergency headquarters. However, it seems evident that some of the actions recommended to be taken without prior government consultation during the Vigilance States should be moved to a later stage under SIMPLE ALERT (where prior government approval will be received) or else the approval of the government would have to be received before declaring any States of Vigilance: e.g. DV 16 - Start progressively executing emergency defence plan and mobilization plan DV 70 - Start implementing survival' operations plans to the extent "required (this clearly needs clarification). .../2 000025 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET 2 (2) Approval of the War Book in Principle - the DID War Book could be approved in principle with the proviso however that civilian agencies and departments such as DOT (Transport and Communications) DDP (ESPB) Emergency Manpower Planning Committee (Labour/UIC) be given a copy for study and consultation and that any serious differences of opinion be referred to EMO and, if necessary, subsequently to the Cabinet Committee on Emergency Plans or the Cabinet Defence Committee,for decision. This will prevent any undue delay and allow DND to bring their orders up-to-date and &o be ready to implement immediately up-to-date measures, should it become necessary, while allowing amendments as required where civilian agencies are concerned. Here are some of the areas that require review by civilian agencies: Vigilance No. DV 7 Control of weather information - DOT DV 12 Manning of Emergency Headquarters - EMO DV 16 Progressive execution of mobilization plan - Labour/UIC DV 21 Requirements for material, accommodation and facilities, including property. - ESPB/DPW DV 62 Control of illumination from lighthouses and beacons showing to seaward - DOT DV 70 Start implementing survival operations - EMO plans to the extent required (too broad - needs clarification) DV 80 Requesting DOT to implement the Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic - DOT RV 102 Advise the Ministers on changes in Canada's military commitments and arrangements with international agencies. - Ext RV 103 Examine and confirm with External Affairs plans to evacuate DND dependents and non-essential civilians from probable war theatres abroad. - Ext RV 119 Give senior military commanders emergency authority for local requisition and procurement of materiel and services. - ESPB and so on. There is no doubt whatever that many areas of responsibility must be reviewed with civilian agencies. 000026 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation SECRET 3 (3) Emergency Orders and, Regulations As stated by DND, these are still under review and further consultation is required between departments to clarify authority and responsibilities and prevent1 overlapping. / / I | i I J / It should be noted that certain actions are recommended during a reinforced alert (page 27 para. 6.02, authority to seize enemy ships and page 28 para. 7-01 (f) dispersal of shipping) which would require authority under the War Measures Act and emergency orders which will not have been passed at that stage. If these authorities are required during a reinforced alert, then these orders should be approved in peacetime, but I am doubtful that the Government would approve seizure of ships before war is declared or a state of war exists. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the DND War Book be approved in principle but that DND be instructed to make copies available to4 departments concerned for review and amendments where necessary. I understand that reviews withfdepartments have already been initiated by DND. o-j^ui' V-^b^^ Privy Council Office (EMO). 000027 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en verfihde la Loi surffic/esja lUnfornjlt\ation SECRET MEMORANDUM FOR MR. BRYCE: Department of National Defence War Book You will recall that the Department of National Defence War Book was submitted to the Cabinet Defence Committee in January, 1962, with the recommendations that the Committee approve in principle the concept of States of Military Vigilance and approve in principle the War Book itself for use in revising appropriate chapters of the 194S Government War Book. The CDC deferred consideration of the item until civilian departments had had more time to study it. It is a voluminous document and the CDC cannot be expected to deal with it properly until departments are able to identify for discussion the main points at issue in it. Warren James, the Departmental Secretary in National Defence, has asked me about the prospects of obtaining CDC approval of this document. The Services are concerned that they cannot complete and issue their Service War Books until the Departmental War Book has been approved, and the experience of Exercise Fallex has occasioned further representations from the Services on the matter. The Army, incidentally, has gone ahead and issued a Service War Book in anticipation of approval of the Departmental War Book. EMO has examined the draft National Defence War Book and has provided you with comments on it, which are attached. They recommend that we should support the principle of States of Military Vigilance but that some of the actions contemplated during these States may be too drastic to be decided upon by the Minister of National Defence alone or to be carried out without exciting the public; such 000022 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a f information • - 2 SECRET actions may belong in the later SIMPLE ALERT stage. (I agree with this.) EMO also suggests that a large number of areas covered in the War Book need to be considered by other civilian departments, some of whom are not members of the CDC (Labour, Transport). They recommend that the War Book should be approved in principle by CDC to avoid further delay in National Defence planning, but that all departments involved should then be given copies and entitled to seek amendments from National Defence at first, and then, if necessary, by appealing through EMO to the Cabinet Committee on Emergency Plans or the Cabinet Defence Committee. There would be some value in having all departments involved examine this Book and obtain settlement of difficulties they encounter before the CDC is asked to approve it, and I wonder if EMO should be asked to take up the job of consulting with Labour/UIC, Transport and perhaps Public Works so that you could report the problems of these departments, if any, tp the CDC when the Book is considered again. If you agree with this course, EMO should be asked to complete this job in about a month. If this approach does not commend itself to you, the alternative is to follow EMO's suggestion that CDC approve the Book in principle and that all departments involved^then be given copies and the opportunity to seek amendments later if necessary. I think the amendment procedure is very cumbersome, but I have nothing better to suggest just now. If you agree with the first of these suggestions we should probably wait for a few weeks before warning departments represented on CDC that this item will soon be coming up for discussion. If you prefer the second course, I think we should set a tentative date for a CDC meeting in a month or so and tell the departments represented on CDC that we expect to call a meeting of the Committee 000023 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation - 3SECRET at that time with this item on the agenda. I think this warning is necessary to ensure that consideration of the matter is really taken up actively by departments. I am puzzled by the second of the recommendations in Mr. Harkness' submission, that the National Defence War Book once approved in, principle, should be used for the revision of the appropriate chapters of the 194& Government War Book. Is this still an objective of emergency planning? I should be grateful for your guidance on these points.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRIME MINISTER; Re: National Defence War Book I think you do not need to be concerned with all the detail of this big paper. This has been under study and discussion in recent months in order to adjuSb the military proposals to the ideas of civilian, departments concerned. The process is not yet completed although it is likely that some changes of detail will be desirable. Our experience with exercises will have a bearing on it. At this stage the only important point I suggest that you request is that the Minister of National Defence shall get your approval before a READY state of vigilance is declared, whether for all or a part of the Canadian Forces (as with the Air Force today). You would presumably get Cabinet approval if circumstances permit. I would suggest that subject to this condition, the War Book be approved on an interim basis and that the other Ministers and Departments concerned (such as Defence Production and Transport) be asked for their comments and suggestions within thirty days, so the book can be revised in December, if it has not had to be put into effect before then. There is a lot of detail that looks somewhat alarming in peacetime. In fact, if time and circumstances permit, the military will only exercise these powers subject to control and direction by the Government and the Minister, as was the case in Canada during the last war. 000020 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a finformation _ 2 - It is desirable that the Forces have something like this to work with during the emergency. I regret I did not get it before you and the Cabinet Defence Committee months ago, but this has been such a busy year for Ministers I did not feel justified in asking you to take the time necessary to consider this subject when it did not appear to be urgent.

R.G. ROBERTSON Re. P.C. War Book The Government War Book lists certain responsibilities that will be assumed by the Privy Council Office In the event of a national emergency. These responsibilities are relatively few In number and affect only a small part of the Privy Council Office. (A list is attached hereto). I believe that there are Committees, other than those now named in the Government War Book, that will be concerned in an emergency -- for instance, at Cabinet level, the Cabinet Committee on Emergency Measures and the Cabinet Defence Committee will undoubtedly be directly concerned with emergency matters and yet they are not mentioned in the main contents of the War Book. Possibly, others would be the Privy Council Committee on Scientific and Indus trial Research and the Panel on Economic Aspects of Defence Questions. At departmental level, The Advisory Panel on Atomic Energy, the ad hoc Committee on Government Information Services and the~~C~ommittees on Merchant ihipping Policy, Meteorology, Telecommunications Policy, Dispersal of Government Offices and the Advisory Panel on Scientific Policy, may well be affected. The terms of reference listed In the Committee Book are very general, so that it is extremely difficult for me to know just what leads to follow. I should like to propose, therefore, that a letter be circulated to all officers asking for their cooperation in this matter. I have prepared a draft of such a letter and am including herewith a copy for your consideration. If you agree with this approach, I would suggest that it be signed by Mr. N.A. Robertson to give it sufficient weight. If so, perhaps the letter should be in the form of a directive rather than a memorandum. I should welcome your guidance as to whether Mr. Robertson would be agreeable to this approach and, if so, as to the form you think this circular should take and whether you find the contents satisfactory.

Its value Is negative, however, unless the general responsibilities•laid down therein are amplified in detail in a departmental War Book. The Privy Council Office has a number of duties which it will have to perform In the event of an emergency. These duties majr have to be performed in a minimum of time and there is definite need that the planning for them be done now rather than as a lastminute expedient. All officials in the Privy Council Office are responsible, as Secretaries, for a number of Ministerial and Interdepartmental Committees. Some of these Committees are concerned with matters of a direct emergency character. Some may be allocated new terms of reference in the event of an emergency and others are of a purely peacetime character. In order to get a. true picture of the requirements of any of these Committees in an emergency, It is necessary that certain planning be done which can be inserted in a Privy Council Office War Book for future guidance. This would include of course any other duties of an emergency character performed by members of the Privy Council. The responsibilities of the Privy Council Office, as enumerated in the Government War Book, are quite few in number. These are listed on the attached paper for Information and guidance. Many of the Committees which are a Privy Council Office concern but are not listed, in the War Book, may have responsibilities in. the event of a national emergency that have, a3 yet, not been visualized in the general planning provided -2 000038 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information SECRET" -2- by the Government War Book. I should like each officer, therefore, to examine the terms of reference of all his Committees, in order to ascertain what their responsibilities are. If there seems to be doubt as to whether a Committee'would have emergency planning responsibilities, the matter might be discussed with the Chairman of the Committee in question. It may even be necessary to make representation to the Cabinet to see whether any particular Committee would have changed terms of reference in the event of a war. It is imperative, however, that this information be obtained if possible, so that it may be included in the Privy Council Office War Book. A report of this examination is to be provided to Squadron Leader Evans, who is responsible for the co-relating of emergency planning In the Privy Council Office War Book. The report should deal with each Committee separately, and in detail -listing, the applicable Chapter of the Government War Book or, if necessary, pointing out that no provision for this planning'" has , as yet, been made. A few spare copies of the Government War Book are on hand in Squadron Leader Evans' office should a copy be required by anyone for examination. As you will no doubt appreciate, thi3 is a matter that should be concluded at an early date. I should be most grateful therefore if you would give Squadron Leader Evans your active cooperation by supplying the information required by 1952. 000039 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
