Which battalion plans, collects, processes, and disseminates intelligence and counter-intelligence in support of MAGTF?

• A. Communications Battalion
• B. Civil Affairs Group
• C. Intelligence Battalion
• D. Force Reconnaissance Company

Answer: (C)

Intelligence Battalion handles planning, collection, processing, and dissemination of intelligence and counter-intelligence in support of the MAGTF. This unit brings together all-source intelligence—including CI/HUMINT, SIGINT, imagery, and other sources—and converts it into actionable products for commanders, while also conducting counter-intelligence to protect the force and its operations. The other options serve different functions: Communications Battalion focuses on networks and communications systems, Civil Affairs Group handles civil-military operations and civilian interactions, and Force Reconnaissance Company conducts advanced reconnaissance and surveillance rather than battalion-level intelligence planning and dissemination.
