Which staff section handles intelligence operations, counterintelligence, human intelligence, and signals intelligence?

• A. J/G/S-4
• B. J/G/S-1
• C. J/G/S-5
• D. J/G/S-2

Answer: (D)

The function of intelligence operations, counterintelligence, human intelligence, and signals intelligence sits with the intelligence section, designated as J/G/S-2. This section is responsible for all aspects of intelligence—collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information to support decisions, running counterintelligence programs to protect forces, and coordinating collection efforts across sources like HUMINT and SIGINT. The other sections focus on different areas: operations, plans, logistics, or personnel, none of which specialize in intelligence duties. So the intelligence section is the correct choice because it explicitly covers the full spectrum of intelligence activities described.
