Military Intelligence (MI) personnel provide commanders, decision makers, and staffs with timely, accurate, relevant, predictive, and tailored intelligence about the enemy and other aspects of the operational environment. Intelligence supports the planning, preparing, executing, and assessing of operations. MI officers analyze different cultures and threats to understand both friendly and threat operations in multiple domains: land, air, maritime, space, and cyberspace. MI officers must effectively communicate in both verbal and written form. MI officers lead Soldiers and manage systems to process, exploit, and disseminate intelligence. MI officers may obtain an area of concentration in signals intelligence, counterintelligence, or human intelligence.
