Australian Army Intelligence Corps - Training

Training

Members of the Intelligence Corps work in the following areas:

  • Intelligence analysis;
  • Combat intelligence;
  • Security intelligence;
  • Language translation and interpretation;
  • Electronic warfare;
  • Human intelligence;
  • Counter intelligence;
  • Imagery intelligence; and
  • Psychological operations.

Recruits can now join AUSTINT through direct entry. Soldiers accepted into the Intelligence Corps attend 11 weeks employment training, consisting of a three week introduction course and an eight week land intelligence course. Both courses are conducted at the Defence Intelligence Training Centre in Canungra, Queensland. Training for Intelligence Corps soldiers is broken into two main streams, text and diagram. Officers are able to enter the Intelligence Corps after completing their officer course at the Royal Military College, Duntroon. However they must undergo a rigorous selection process before being employed in the Corps.

Intelligence Corps staff work with the Defence Intelligence Organisation, Defence Signals Directorate and Defence Security Authority. There are also intelligence officers and staff on most of the major Army commands and headquarters providing operational or counter intelligence support.

Famous quotes containing the word training:

    At present I feel like a caged animal, bound up by the luxury, comfort and respectability of my position. I can’t get the training that I want without neglecting my duty.
    Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)

    ... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.
    Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)

    Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
