ARMY INTELLIGENCE

Army Intelligence is often dubbed as the “eyes and ears” of Our Army. As a key element in Our Army, the formation is entrusted with the responsibility to collect and understand real-time information, and provide accurate, timely and relevant Intelligence to Our Army. Armed with skills in Intelligence analysis, surveillance and deployment of tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), as well as other specialised Intelligence assets, Army Intelligence Formation provides an edge for Our Army in this modern battlefield.

To ensure that competencies are kept relevant to meet today’s challenges in Intelligence operations, Army Intelligence Formation has continuously been transforming the training of Intelligence professionals in Our Army. The formation has also been supporting both local high security and overseas operations through the deployment of Intelligence Surveillance Teams and Imagery Analysis Teams. Army Intelligence also aided in SAF’s humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts.
