Intelligence

This section goes into more specific information than the Area Intelligence page under planning and has restricted access.

In this section we will look at a number of different ways that you can gather intelligence on what resources and threats are in your area.

There are a number of different intelligence disciplines, some with sub-sets. Most are focused on obtaining information but there are also those that focus on counter-intelligence, aimed at preventing the enemy doing to you what you are doing to them!

This section will be expanded over time with information on those intelligence disciplines that can be useful in preparedness.
