The military’s ability to fight global terrorism is being hampered by an exodus of officers from the Intelligence Corps, with 20 per cent departing in the past three years, defence sources have disclosed.
Not just an issue for the US anymore, and in a war driven by intelligence (that is, intelligence drives operations, not “cooked” intelligence) this development is going to call into question the ability of our allies to continue contributing to the fight. Absent organic intelligence capabilities, allied military elements stop playing as rooks and start operating merely as pawns.

Based on my personal experience, you need to break “intelligence” down into it’s sub-disciplines before you can draw any useful conclusions.
I have my personal doubts about our personal favorite sub-field being of any use to someone at the tactical level, for instance… part of that is undoubtably to blame on the pointy part of that particular intel pyramid however.
