Hello! I am planning on joining the military after HS. I'm really fascinated by the aspect of intelligence in the military and was wondering - does military intelligence often get deployed?
Yes, military intelligence officers and units can and do get deployed quite often. They play a critical role in all kinds of missions, from supporting combat operations to peacekeeping missions, and even during times of military exercise. They might be stationed abroad to collect information, analyse data, or provide strategic or tactical support to their units.
However, it's important to note that "deployment" does not always mean being sent to a combat zone. A military intelligence officer could be deployed domestically, or to a peaceful foreign country as well. It depends on the needs of the service and the specific role of the officer or unit. Deployment locations and duration can widely vary based on the current global and political scenario, as well the specific mission or campaign at hand.
