A Can of Man, the majority of Army Intel. Soldiers are not “spooks”. All Army units, Battalion and up, have Intel. Personnel assigned (S-2, G-2, and J-2 staffs). I was always proud that I sought “Tactical (Field duty)" rather than “Strategic ( air condition offices)” assignments. This seemed to me to be the first step to getting info on the bad guys, and their intentions, to the Soldiers doing the fighting.
