The basic policy promulgated by the Chiefs of Staff in CSC 1/57, Conditions Under Which Mobilization Might Take Place, Reference (a), places first priority in a general war on the battle of survival. In CSC 1/5? the battle of survival is interpreted to include requirements for provision and sustenance of operational (combat) forces and their support as well as civil defence organization and protection for the population centre, industry and governments. / 2. The remaining references have plans for survival operations based on CSC 1/5? but principally applied to civil!, defence survival. It is noted that there is a tendency to allocate first pFiority to civil defence survival operations in Canada, which implies that the provision and maintenance of combat forces i~ secondary. 3. For example, in the revised Canadian Army Defence Plan, Reference (e), Chapter III, Part II, the phrase "Survival Operations" is used heading a section dealing with Civil Defence planning. The Canadian Army Mobilization Plan, Reference (f), in support of the Defence Plan, in Chapter III, Section 2 states: "The assistance of the Army in the interests national survival has first priority", of and then continues to describe civil defence. No mention of priority is made in the other sections of the plan dealing with military operations. SECRETARY, JOINT PLANNINGCOMMITTEE. 0 0 0 2 I HQ.

It is considered that if the emphasis being placed by the services and other Government Departments on civil defence survival is continued, _it mµst b~ at the expense of provid~ng and sustaining peak combat forces and their support, as the two objectives will be competing for similar commodities and services in peace and war. Therefpre, it is considered necessary for the priority of task for the armed forc~s, provided in CSC 1/,57, to be clearly established. 5. It is suggested that the first step to establish the above requirement is to issue a definition of the term ·"battle of survival" from which the ter.lns "Survival" and "survival operations" are derived. The following definition is proposed: The term "Battle of su;rvival" includes in peace and war (~) As first ( i) '. priority: The provision a.Q.dsustenance of combat forces and their supporting facilities, and - {ii) (b) As a secondary (i) ---- The maintenance, and, if necessary, the reconstitution of the Federal Government. priority: Organization and implementation defence operations, of civil and= (ii) T4e increase, our industrial survival and revival capacity, of and= (iii) Operations priority. ot4er than those of first 60 Therefore the terms "survival" and "survival operations" usually applie.d to Civil defence will have the connotation that implementation of civil defence ,measures although important to the battle of survival 1 a:renot to have precedence over tbe tasks of first priority. Military authorities should be dire~ted to revise their plans to conform with the· definition. The JPC revision to csc_ l/57 would be a g9od place 'to start. Government Departments should be notified of this military definition aswell. ' ,' Establishment of priorities for (a) military use, and (b) interdepartment use, with cognizance being paid to the proposed definition is also req_uired to insure that plans and arrangements are made in peace for immediate implementation when directed by the Government, based on combat forces and their support being authorized the highest priority. 7. 8. rt is requested that this subject be placed on a JPC agenda for discussion and approval of the proposed definition, following the distribution of copi~.s of · s paper to the JPC Members. ~'(~ ( •• Boulton), / commodore, RCN, Naval Member, JOINT PLANNINGCOMMITTEE.
