REQUEST FOR MILITARY-TO-MILITARY ASSISTANCE
REF: OTTAWA 10
Classified By: PolMinCouns Scott Bellard, reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
¶1. (C) Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
(DFAIT) Director for Defence and Security Relations Shelley
Whiting conveyed to Embassy on June 4 the second of two
Canadian diplomatic notes seeking U.S. military-to-military
support in advance of and during the February 2010 Winter
Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver. Whiting stressed
the importance of the Games to Canada, as well as Canadian
appreciation for U.S. support. Admitting the late date of
this request, she emphasized Canada's hope that the USG would
respond positively and quickly -- within the next 30 days --
to the specific Canadian requests contained in the dipnote
and its three annexes. Whiting also requested an update on
Canada's first Olympics-related dipnote, which Embassy
conveyed to State for ExecSec transmittal to DOD for action
in January, but which has not yet elicited an official
response, despite Canada's request at that time for 30-day
turn-around. (Note: Reftel contains IDR-007, the first of
two Canadian dipnotes seeking U.S. mil-to-mil support for the
Vancouver Olympics. End note)
¶2. (SBU) Begin Canadian dipnote text:
Diplomatic Note No. IDR-0435
The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
presents its compliments to the Embassy of the United States
of America and has the honour to refer to recent discussions
between officials of our Governments, including the
Department of National Defence and the Office of the
Coordinator for 2010 Olympic and G8 Security, concerning
military-to-military and other assistance in support of
providing security for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games
to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Department wishes to advise the Embassy that Canada is
herewith making a request for the provision of certain
capabilities which, it is understood, could be made available
by the United States Department of Defense, the United States
Postal Service, the United States Coast Guard and other
Agencies. This current Note will be specific to the
military-to-military assistance desired to augment Canada
Command in its responsibilities in support of the 2010 Games,
whether fulfilling its defence mandated maritime surveillance
task, supporting the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP),
which is the agency responsible for security of the 2010
Games, or in Canada Command's support to Canadian civil
authorities who have the lead in consequence management
operations.
The request for United States Postal Service support in mail
screening will be addressed in a separate Note, as will the
establishment of integrated marine security operations to
take place on the west coast between Vancouver and Washington
State, planning for which was initiated by Diplomatic Note
No. GGA-0ll sent on March 11,2009
The specifics of the military-to-military assistance desired
to augment Canada Command are detailed in the attached three
Annexes. The 19 June 1951 Agreement Between the Parties to
the North Atlantic Treaty Regarding the Status of Their
Qthe North Atlantic Treaty Regarding the Status of Their
Forces would apply to any United States Forces deployed to
Canada in response to this request. Force protection would be
the responsibility of the RCMP. United States Forces and
personnel deployed to Canada pursuant to this request would
be transferred to the control of Canada Command, the specific
command and control authorities to be agreed between United
States Forces and Canada Command.
The detailed arrangements are to be completed through direct
coordination between the respective relevant military
authorities in accordance with the 13 March 1968 Exchange of
Notes between Canada and the United States of America on the
Principles and Procedures for Temporary Cross Border Movement
of Land Forces; the Canada-US Civil Assistance Plan and
existing orders and regulations. This current Note is
OTTAWA 00000426 002 OF 004
considered to constitute the formal clearance through

¶5. (SECRET REL-CANUS) ANNEX C
Begin Annex C text:
ANNEX C
to Note IDR-0435
Dated: June, 03, 2009
Although unlikely, Canada could potentially face the threat
of an improvised or military nuclear device being constructed
in, or imported to, its national territory. Canada does not
currently possess the capability for the rendering safe of a
nuclear device.
Canada therefore requests that, if required, US capabilities
and technical assistance for 'render safe' operations and
transportation of an improvised nuclear device and/or a
radiological dispersion device be made available to Canada.
Render safe operations would be conducted under the
provisions of an agreed protocol, which is currently under
Qprovisions of an agreed protocol, which is currently under
revision.
