Abstract

Military intelligence supports commanders, operations and planning staffs, and their evolving needs. With few foundations for what is expected of military-intelligence officers in scholarly literature, this article attempts to determine what military-intelligence soldiers, planning officers, operational staff, and commanders expect of military-intelligence officers in the 21st century operating environment. Literature, training doctrine, and public resources provide no data or succinct analysis justifying how New Zealand military-intelligence officers comprehend what their roles required of them. This research surveyed New Zealand Defence Force personnel to determine what they believe is best military-intelligence practice. While commanders’ preferences differ, doctrine indicates military-intelligence officers should train for the most likely situations, and therefore commanders’ most likely expectations. This article presents analysis of what is required to be a good military-intelligence officer.
