Divisional Headquarters,

INTELLIGENCE COURSE (OFFICERS).

INTELLIGENCE WITHIN THE DIVISION - TRENCH WARFARE.

I.  During quiet periods, such as the present, we must concentrate
our energies, keeping in mind the following main aims :–
(a) To inflict casualties on the enemy, to harass and keep him
in doubt as to our intentions;

(b) Prepare for an offensive on the part of the enemy;

(c) Prepare for an offensive in which we may expect to take
part during the Spring;

(d) Take every opportunity to train the whole fighting portion
of the Division in the collection and forwarding of information,
and above all, in the case of Officers, in
the forming of correct deductions from information
gained, so that when the actual trial comes each Commanding
Officer will know that he has in his hands
a system on which he can place absolute reliance.
II. (i). In order to carry out this work we must first build up

a sound system, the basis of which will be found under the following
heads :-

(a) Every available means must be made use of to collect
information.

(b) Our policy throughout must be consistent and the work of
the various branches carefully co-ordinated.

(c) It must be remembered that the value of information is
relative to its accuracy and the rapidity with which
it is transmitted to those whom it immediately concerns,
and to higher formations.

(ii). Means at our disposal. (Under sub-para. (a) above).

Under Division are Artillery and Infantry Brigades.
Each Infantry Brigade has its Battalions, Machine Gun
Company and Trench Mortar Battery.
Each Battalion has its Companies, its Snipers and its
Scouts.
Each Company, for the purposes of information, has its
Platoons holding posts or parts of the front line.

A special system of observers is arranged for Division,
Brigades and Battalions.

As a working system of Intelligence, these are explained
by the following diagram :–
P.T.O.

 

- 2 - 
Diagram - see original document

(iii) Co-ordination. (Under sub-para. (b) above).
The co-ordination of the various branches is in the
hands of the I.O's, working for their Commanders
in their own particular commands.
Information is collected and distributed by them.
There must also be constant interchange of information
direct between branches.

(iv). Accuracy and rapidity of information. (Under sub-para.
(c) above).
Depends upon the efficiency and organisation of by the I.O.

III. Consider aims in order:-

(a) During trench warfare, the following weapons are
available :-

(i) Artillery
(ii) Trench Mortars
(iii) Machine Guns
(iv) Gas
(v) Minor operations.

Characteristics of each.
Targets on which they can be best employed.
Method of employment.
Information required in order to use them successfully.
Examples of information.
Criticism of information received within the Division
during recent operations.

(b) Signs which denote approaching offensive:
Illustrations.
Deductions.
Method of reporting.
Criticism of reports received.
P.T.O.

(c) Information required by us concerning enemy defences,
etc.,
(d) Outline of system of training.
