Retired colonel furry might have aviation background but his last posting was some joint intel posting in pacific fleet HQ and one before that was being commanding officer of 58th expeditionary military intelligence brigade. Oh then comes the time military intelligence of furgays really started to shine and they started posting pictures on instagram where he might be involved in bdsm with junior officers and enlisted under his command. The best and most hilarious way of celebrating retirement.
Those commie bastards trying to take muh meth, don't those bastards know the founding fathers would want us smoking meth? Always pushing for "common sense drug laws"
They do weather, terrain, enemy strength, and civilian population analysis. They get their reports from scouting units, or any other sources of intel. They work for Battalion and higher echelon staff sections in coordination with the 3 shop to give the commander an overview of the situation.
They do all this in powerpoint form. In garrison they just basically do weather and make sure everyone's security clearances are up to date. They also might do the unit newsletter.
>I want to be an inteligence officer so I can be a cool cia agent
more like you'll become dia, nsa, or nga...
cia prefers to hire hot young fit smart neverserved non-rotc ivy league grads
because they're charismatic and can influence foreign populations without standing out like a sore thumb within a civilian populace as a military veteran does...
if you become military you never get the military stink posture and baggage off you...
cia = civilian intelligence agency...
Intel officers don't actually do anything cool. Your best bet at working for the CIA is getting a PhD in a international relations and applying. If you wanna be a field operative then you need to be a Delta officer.
mostly data mine and interoperate information taken from the field. there job is to give military officers a picture of the battle field, the political situation, and any special needs of the mission. its very much the bureaucratic branch of the military. a comparison to the civilian market are marketers, business strategy annalist, and project management (more so the fact finding part).
A lot of the intelligence officer's work deals with
1) Sitting down
2) reading the day's newspapers
You would be surprised how much "spy work" is done by someone sitting down with a coffee cup and reading just what is publically available. Bonus points if you get to do so in a hotel in some foreign land so "you can keep an ear to the street talk".
Then that gets added to stuff what SIGINT has picked up, and compiled into a report which is sent to some bigwig's desk.
And then you do it all over again tomorrow.
Mostly presentations as other anons have said. It's all data aggregation and presentation. Very rarely does an intelligence officer collect any primary data and even then it's overt (eg seconded to a marine platoon to write endless reports on how the enemy behaves and compare that to expectations)
Really good intel officers end up doing what my c**t calls URINT (urine intelligence, ie "I feel it in my waters"). Sounds like a joke but an intel officer who is trusted to make competent appraisals of the situation based entirely on what info he does not have is an incredibly valuable asset. If a bloke in that position has a gut feeling then the force will be willing to invest a fortune and accommodate extra risk investigating it.
I did work for military intel as a civie, it was mostly absurd and often useless deskjob, while watching colonels trying to reach their stars and waiting for politicians to decide stuff (protip, they never do).
Power point presentations
/thread
Also sending an email out the commanders about PVT Snuffy Joe losing his clearance for being 70k in debt
That and bondage.
Clearly aviation, not intel, neverserved

Like this PowerPoint looking thread about Russia
Gathering, compiling, and interpreting intelligence during the planning phase of the operation.
Basically spying+
Distributing IQ points
>OP pic
Um... bros...?? Why is the military intelligence officer pointing at West Virginia??
next nuke testing site
chud pacifying operation
capturing the meth mines
>capturing the meth mines
Best answer. Can confirm day 387 of the special US military operation to deKKKify the West Virginia meth mines.
wait a minute, how did she pass MEPS?

are there previous intelligence reports to browse in order to become better at writing intelligence reports?
I feel as if this would be one of those jobs where some people are really good at it, and some suck complete shit at it
They go to a school for it
We are searching for terrorists, even domestic ones sometimes.
Dunno, probably intelligent things like chess or some shit I wouldn't know, dumped all my points in luck and endurance
I want to be an inteligence officer so I can be a cool cia agent

This is a real thing, btw. It looks like cop, acts like frat boy and smells like asbestos-riddled, condemned public school.

take stuff gathered using spying methods and put it into powerpoint presentations
They post on PrepHole about how their side is totally winning. They're like cheerleaders but uglier.
They make power point presentations, it's really boring unless you get to be privy to some super secret squirrel shit

Regurgitate the briefings they got from brigade, while being moronic wierdos
They take all the credit when things go right, and all the blame when they go wrong
