How do you become a military intelligence specialist?

Le point de vue adopté ici est celui du renseignement militaire américain. En France, des binationaux peuvent travailler dans les services de renseignement dépendant du ministère des Armées. On peut choisir la voie civile : les trois services recrutent des contractuels, mais seule la DGSE dispose d’un concours spécifique pour y devenir fonctionnaire de carrière. Quant à la voie militaire, elle permet de rejoindre une unité spécialisée ou un service de renseignement.

I would suggest: 1) Have a demonstrated ability to learn a foreign language (especially helpful if that language is Chinese, Korean, Persian, or Russian). 2) Have lived or travelled extensively overseas. 3) Willingness to focus narrowly on a topic long-term as opposed to being satisfied as a generalist moving frequently from one topic to another.

Score high on theArmed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test. Intelligence Specialist requires the highest scores of all other jobs in the military. Knowledge of history, geography, world politics, etc., is helpful; but as an all source analyst, any specialized and/or general knowledge is helpful; as you may be conducting economics or weapon acquisition studies on a particular country, or doing foreign technology assessment. All of this will be offered in training once you enter the military. The main thing that the military wants to know before you enter the field, is do you have the capability to learn quickly, analyze facts, and can you qualify for a top level security clearance.

1-) US citizen ( Born in US) 2-) pass background check 3-) high ASVAB Score 4-) pass school 5-) maintain security clearance. 6-) pass physical requirement. 7-) pass other requirements.

I would add a couple of suggestions: Be highly motivated by hard-to-solve real-life geopolitical problems. Have some skills in seeing hidden patterns and connections in the everyday world.

Dans l'armée de l'air, un officier de renseignement commencera sa carrière en général dans un escadron de combat où il assistera les équipages à préparer leurs missions opérationnelles, puis aura la responsabilité d'exploiter les informations recueillies au cours de la mission.

On signale beaucoup l'importance du renseignement technique par rapport au renseignement humain ce dernier est primordial dans l'appréciation des sources,.......

To choose which branch of the armed forces you want to join and what kind of military intelligence specialist job you want to pursue, you should take into account your skills, knowledge and aptitudes: if you have a university background in political science or international relations you could work as a strategic level intelligence analyst; on the other hand, if you like communication in the electromagnetic spectrum you could work in signals intelligence with electronic sources and if you are a person with emotional intelligence, social skills and fluency in other languages you could work as a human intelligence collector.

Dans l'armée de terre, l'officier sous contrat encadrement suivra une formation généraliste de un an, puis une formation spécialisée renseignement de un an. Il sera prêt à servir dans des unités spécialisées, et notamment au sein du Commandement des actions dans la profondeur et du renseignement (CAPR) basé à Strasbourg. Le CAPR agglomère une quinze d’unités relevant de trois brigades, dont deux apparaissent à cette occasion. La brigade de renseignement cyber électronique (BRCE), d’une part, rassemblera les unités dont les capteurs relèvent de cette zone ou agissent depuis la métropole, que sont le 2e régiment de hussards, les 44e et 54e régiments de transmission et la 785e compagnie de guerre électronique.

2. Compétences et Aptitudes Personnelles: - Analyse et Résolution de Problèmes: Capacité à analyser des informations complexes et à en tirer des conclusions. - Discrétion et Intégrité: La nature sensible du travail exige un haut niveau de discrétion et d'éthique. - Adaptabilité et Réactivité: Capacité à s'adapter rapidement à des situations changeantes et à prendre des décisions sous pression.

War in the 21st century has brought about a significant change in the planning and development of military operations, as a consequence of the appearance of new threats, much more diffuse and adaptive to complex environments, which added to the exponential growth of new technologies turn the operational environment into a highly changing space prone to the "fog of war". All of the above implies the need for highly qualified intelligence officers, capable of integrating into these organizations and responding to the demands of the new scenarios with agile and timely intelligence production.

First thing to do is determine your interests and natural skills. There are different forms of intelligence from collecting and analyzing human intelligence (HUMINT) to electronic intel (ELINT), communications intel (COMINT), signals intel (SIGINT), and imagery intelligence (IMINT). Research each type and explore what each involves, to fully understand what you would find most interesting and rewarding.

1. Formation Éducative et Académique: - Diplôme en Sciences Politiques, Relations Internationales ou Sécurité Nationale: Ces domaines fournissent une base solide pour comprendre les enjeux géopolitiques. - Études en Histoire Militaire et Stratégie: Connaître l'histoire des conflits et les stratégies militaires est crucial. - Langues Étrangères: La maîtrise d'une ou plusieurs langues étrangères, en particulier celles qui sont stratégiquement importantes, est un atout majeur.

Think about this from a global perspective. All of the above is great information. You need to have an interest in area studied and world history. For example, you may want to gain expertise in a specific region, learn the culture, economics, political climate, military history and current stutus, etc. Learn as much as possible in order to provide your best analysis.

6. Connaissances Juridiques et Éthiques: - Lois sur le Renseignement et les Droits de l'Homme: Connaissance des cadres juridiques nationaux et internationaux. 7. Réseautage et Relations Professionnelles: - Développer un Réseau: Se connecter avec des professionnels du secteur peut ouvrir des portes et offrir des opportunités. 8. Processus de Sécurité et d'Accréditation: - Vérifications de Sécurité et Habilitations: Être prêt à passer des contrôles de sécurité rigoureux. 9. Formation Continue et Veille: - Mise à Jour des Connaissances: Le domaine du renseignement évolue rapidement ; il est essentiel de se tenir constamment à jour.

L’académie du renseignement concourt à la formation du personnel des services de renseignement, au renforcement des liens au sein de la communauté française du renseignement, ainsi qu’à la diffusion de la culture du renseignement. À ce titre, elle a notamment pour mission : de concevoir, d’organiser et de mettre en œuvre des activités de formation initiale et continue au profit du personnel des services ; de favoriser la coopération entre ces services en matière de formation ; de participer aux actions de sensibilisation au renseignement.

Les officiers de renseignement français peuvent développer leurs compétences en suivant des formations au sein de l'académie du renseignement.

Thank you Carl! Very useful guidance for one starting out early in this line of work. While on active duty I found the advantages of affiliating with professional associations, and years after leaving service (and with subsequent careers also in intelligence), continue to actively engage in associations with a nexus to analysis and intelligence (AFIO, IALEIA, IAFIE, IACA, OSINT Foundation....to name a few). Much of this has been consistent with the Intelligence Community Directive 205, Analytic Outreach, which encourages intel professionals to network beyond their environment (organizational policies permitting along with security considerations), to include academia, other DoD components, private/public sectors, law enforcement, etc.

I think rigor and objectivity are two absolutely essential qualities. Military intelligence often consists of piecing together a puzzle: starting from a few scattered information, it is a matter of highlighting an organization, even a tactic or a strategy of the enemy, which by nature are secret. The more accurate the analysis, the more accurate the synthetic vision. To this must be added a very good knowledge of the doctrine, culture and functioning of the enemy.

A good intelligence officer is a creditor of deep analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, understanding of new environments, critical thinking, effective communication, teamwork, self-control, self-confidence and resilience.

The essentials of military intelligence comes from a 4000 years past. Since the first battles in history of human race it existed for brilliant commanders of armed forces. When you become a military intelligence specialist sooner or later, preferably sooner because you will be in a field which requires attention to details and analytical skills in fast pace environments, you will find out literally everything can be a weapon in life and is subject to your expertise. Another aspect of business of these kind of specialists is that you can distinct yourself among with some advanced skills from other areas, a few I can advise could be SWOT analysis from business management and learning how to fly from aviation, etc.

Everyone should have enlisted and served a year under command. This is where Microsoft cannot help. Attend military training, rise in rank. Those that start with delivery to the military, learn from the military, how to command, execute orders and command your troops. Intelligence is about sharing and taking information in and out. There's reason for people telling you, you can analyse why you were told, and what is actually the information? Where are the mistakes?
