Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of records created and or maintained by CFB Carp., This series also includes plans and technical drawings dated 1960-1961 created by the Foundation of Canada Engineering Corp. Ltd., on behalf of the Department of National Defence (Army) Directorate of Works, during the construction of the Experimental Army Signals Establishment (Project E.A.S.E.), Carp, ON. These technical drawings depict the concrete reinforcement structural supports of the bunker, composed of "gunite" sprayed concrete. A second group of plans are architectural drawings from a Base Construction Engineering Office (BCEO) that document later renovations to the facility, ca. 1986-1991. These include floor layout overviews of all 4 four levels, and more detailed floor area plans. The E.A.S.E. was redesignated the Canadian Forces Station Carp (CFS Carp) in 1968, and was the location of the Central Emergency Government Headquarters (CEGHQ Carp), and has been colloquially referred to as a "Diefenbunker," before and after its 1994 decommissioning.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Canadian Forces Station (Carp, Ont.) : In its first Canadian Forces Organization Order 1.16, dated 27 May 1968, the Experimental Army Signal Establishment was redesignated as Canadian Forces Station Carp. On 14 September 1970 the stations consisted of a receiver site at Carp and a transmitter site at Richardson, Ontario, reporting to Canadian Forces Communication Command. CFS Carp was to provide the administration, security and housekeeping services needed to maintain a constant state of operational readiness for all sites under its command; most importantly, the communication facilities at Carp, Richardson, Almonte and Dunrobin. It also administered support services to terminal stations at Renfrew, Arnprior, Carleton Place, Smith Falls and Kemptville. The NATO Satellite Ground Terminal and some elements of the Canadian Emergency Measures Organization at Carp also fell under its operational command. On 1 July 1971 CFS Carp was disbanded and reformed by amalgamating 701 Communication Squadron (formed on 1 April 1965) whereby it was given an increased operational emphasis on providing strategic communications for the Canadian Forces. CFS Carp was closed in 1994. General inventory
