Military intelligence

Military intelligence (abbreviated MI, int. Commonwealth, or intel. U.S.), is a military discipline that focuses on the gathering, analysis, protection, and dissemination of information about the enemy, terrain, and weather in an area of operations or area of interest. Intelligence activities are conducted at all levels from tactical to strategic, during peacetime and in war.

United Kingdom

The intelligence group of the British Army is the Intelligence Corps. The Royal Air Force has the RAF Intelligence Branch. The Royal Navy does not have a dedicated Intelligence Branch. The abbreviation MI used in the names of MI5 and MI6, but neither is a military intelligence organization—the use is a historical vestige relating to their origins. In fact they are correctly called Security Service and Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) respectively. The Defence Intelligence Service (DIS) is a Joint Military and Civil Organisation under the UK Ministry of Defence.
