Welcome to the intelligence task force, which covers all aspects of military intelligence. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. Scope This task force covers the military and national security aspects of intelligence gathering. It is not intended to cover all aspects of what may be termed "espionage"; the precise limits of its scope, however, have yet to be defined. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Intel-task-force=yes or Intel=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Intelligence task force articles.
