The Canadian Army was given eight responsibilities in National Survival or Civil Defence. Principles and assumptions, on which planning was based, were agreed upon. The allotted tasks included: (1) a warning system with the information source connected up to a central decision-making office and down to Canada-wide warning dissemination agencies; (2) a radiation monitoring system composed of some 2000 stations connected to the warning system; (3) provision of forces and equipment for immediate rescue operations in areas damaged by nuclear detonations. Canada has been unique in her organization and concept of operations; no other army has these duties and no other country has a similar organization in being. The task is not finished; a disciplined rescue force trained and equipped must be maintained, fallout shelters are needed, adequate plans at all levels of government must be prepared.
加拿大军队在国家生存或民防方面承担八项职责。规划所依据的原则和假设已达成共识。分配的任务包括：（1）一个警报系统，其信息源连接到中央决策办公室，并向下连接到全加拿大的警报传播机构；（2）一个辐射监测系统，由约2000个站点组成，与警报系统相连；（3）提供部队和装备，以便在核爆受损地区立即展开救援行动。加拿大在其组织和作战理念方面独具特色；没有其他军队承担这些职责，也没有其他国家有类似的现有组织。任务尚未完成；必须维持一支训练有素、装备精良的纪律严明的救援部队，需要有防辐射避难所，各级政府必须制定充分的计划。
