INTRODUCTION
War Plans
1.
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:

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.

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.

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.

expedient to put the measures into effect in
irregular order. The Minister of National Defence

These measures will also deal with a surprise attack

will then be determined by the nature and extent
of the attack.
