Intelligence in the North Dakota Army National Guard

Intelligence
Analyzing and Detecting Threats

Intelligence Soldiers provide the Guard with the information it needs to act. Human Intelligence Collectors talk to sources in foreign languages and conduct interrogations. Signal Analysts and Cryptologic Linguists use advanced surveillance techniques to spy on enemy communications. Analysts then deliver this critical information to commanders, enabling Guard Soldiers to fight with deadly precision.

At home, intelligence experts gather information to help rescue towns and save lives during disasters—or even prevent a national emergency. Naturally, the nation trusts these specialists with advanced security credentials—opening doors for careers in other government agencies.
