The role of the Intelligence Corps is to work out what size force the enemy is, what they are going to do, and where and how they plan to do it. To do this they collect, collate and analyse a range of data and information. It’s also their role to provide security for the Army against espionage, subversion and sabotage. Translation and language skills are vital in their activities.
The variety of roles undertaken by the Corps reflects the myriad areas where detailed knowledge, understanding and advice are essential in today's Army, and the number of specialisations required by the Intelligence Corps, is reflected in the range of skills that an operator can accumulate.
Combat intelligence, security intelligence, protective security, photographic interpretation and imagery analysis, signal intelligence, the study of foreign armies and interrogation all fall within the domain of the Intelligence Corps.
