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.

Intelligence Branch Prayer
Almighty God, by
whose grace we are called upon to positions of trust and
responsibility! We ask for your blessing upon all who serve in
the Intelligence Branch of the Canadian Forces, at home and
abroad. Inspire us with the courage to always seek the truth,
and the wisdom to give proper counsel to our comrades. Give us
the strength to persevere in the face of doubt and adversity,
and clarity of vision that we may always know the light when it
is revealed from the darkness; that by serving others honourably
and with wisdom, we may serve you well and be worthy of our
calling. Amen.
