So what does an Army Military Intelligence Analyst do? He or she collects information from all sources, aerial photos, satellite images, reports from human intelligence collectors, reports from the field. It requires a Top Secret security clearance, and in the words of some soldiers in that job, they get to see and do some really cool stuff. Military Intelligence – what image does that phrase create in your mind? Really smart people? Soldiers studying maps of enemy movements? James Bond or a Tom Clancy character? The Army has an enlisted MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) called Military Intelligence Analyst, MOS 35F. So, my LT at my last unit was tasked with looking up and researching whatever our BC decided he had a hard-on for that day, which then meant that I was pretty consistently creating and recreating the same shit over and over again, but with new colors or a different format.This was originally published in The Belle Banner, Belle, Missouri, February 20th 2019. Never had to start a Hellfire packet though.Īlso, because we're Intel, it seems that we magically know everything that there is to know about everything. I was an ISR controller, which means that I developed the collection plan for our various UAVs and then watched the feeds while the crews flew them. Link-analysis and targeting is actually really fun, although I didn't get to do that much. Overseas is where we actually get to do our job. Occasionally our S2 will get tired of us all sitting around after the easy stuff gets done, and will give us projects like country studies, conflict research, TTP development, etc. Personnel Security (security clearances, investigations), Physical Security (arms Rooms, vaults, SIPR drops) and Informational Security (handling and control of classified info) is the name of the game for us.
