2 Military Intelligence (Exploitation) Battalion
2 Military Intelligence Battalion is a regular Army unit under the operational command of Field Army Troops. The Unit’s mix of capabilities are unique in the Army, Defence, and wider Government. It is the largest and most operational Intelligence Battalion.
Materiel and Personnel Exploitation (MPE)
The Battalion is Army's lead unit for forensic technical exploitation, including biometrics, fingerprinting, and the examination of electronic media and weapons.
Consolidating the Army’s exploitation capabilities ensures that information derived from different sources can be rapidly fused to provide commanders with actionable intelligence to facilitate effective decision making.
Counter Intelligence (CI)
In addition to MPE, the Battalion is the Army’s sole specialist CI collection asset.
In this guise, operators seek to generate intelligence and understanding in order to protect Army and Defence assets, such as personnel, infrastructure and information, from a range of traditional and non-traditional threats.
There are a variety of roles available for CI Operators, each requiring extensive and demanding training.
