Intelligence
Duties and Responsibilities
The Intelligence officer supports combat operations - performing and overseeing the analysis and fusion of collected intelligence, and producing assessments to meet operational requirements. Responsibilities include exchanging and collecting intelligence with other services, agencies and governments, and analyzing data to advise planners of options to accomplish objectives.
Intelligence officers evaluate mission accomplishments to determine remaining adversary capability and requirements for retargeting, and coordinate intelligence estimates and analytical activities. They coordinate input to intelligence operations plans and orders, and advise commanders on threat systems deployment, employment, tactics and capabilities, and vulnerabilities, and also provide intelligence support and assist in the planning and execution of information warfare.
Civilian Opportunities
Because of the nature of the field, most intelligence jobs involve working for the government. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) are two employers of intelligence specialists.
Duties and Responsibilities
Duties among civilian intelligence agencies vary widely. The CIA hires people as analysts in the economic, political, military, and scientific and technical fields, as well as cartographers, graphic designers, quantitative analysts, and computer scientists. NSA focuses more on foreign area experts, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and linguists.
