In July 2016, civilians began wandering onto military bases across Canada, smartphones in hand. Defence chiefs were perplexed.
It turned out the interlopers were playing Pokemon Go, the augmented reality mobile game which launched that month and quickly sparked a global phenomenon.
More than three years on, newly released documents have revealed how the Canadian military responded to the trespassers entering its compounds in search of digital creatures.
Much of the initial reaction expressed confusion and curiosity, files obtained by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) show.

LTC (Join to see) I Knew where there was a Hole in the Fence from Navy Housing into Pearl during My Time there. At NSGD Sugar Grove We had little more than old country 3 slat wood fence at the operations site, No fence at the Support Site. No Fence around the Front of 7 North Audley St in London. Had a Huge Brick Wall around Washington Navy Yard that would be the First really securely contained place I worked at and that wasn't till 1987.
