Intelligence Branch Facts

Intelligence Branch Cap Badge

The colours scarlet, dark green and white denote the evolution of the Intelligence Branch from the Canadian Corps of Guides, the Canadian Intelligence Corps (C Int C), and the Canadian Forces Security Branch, respectively. The North Star symbol embodied in the C Int C badge is also found in the Branch badge, further preserving historic ties. The compass rose shape of the badge draws notice to the world-wide scope of Branch responsibilities.
