ANNEX. J.I.C.(48) 42 (0) Final 18th June, 1948. CHIEFS OF STAFF COMMITTEE JOINT INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE INDICATIONS OF RUSSIAN PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR. Report by the Joint Intelligence Committee. We have examined the indications which might appear if the Russians were preparing to launch an offensive. We believe the Russian armed forces to be in a high state of mobilisation and therefore able to undertake a limited offensive with little warning. Preparations for war on a larger scale might, however, become apparant, despite all attempts at concealment.
