ABOUT MIL

The MIL provides reliable, thorough and comprehensive information, and gives families the chance to find out more about living conditions and unit activities. The recorded information also includes:

• periodic Situation Reports;
• messages from commanding officers; and
• confirmation of news releases and information on incidents or accidents.

The Situation Reports are provided directly by deployed military personnel from theatres of operation.

MIL Staff receive the information from a number of sources at the Department of National Defence, including:

• units deployed on peacekeeping missions;
• the National Defence Command Centre;
• Peacekeeping authorities at National Headquarters in Ottawa; and
• rear parties.

A touch-tone telephone is required to use the Automated System; pressing "0" will connect you with line personnel. Callers can use rotary phones by following the instructions given on the line.
