Following the end of the conflict, the Corps was disbanded in 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecognising the growing importance of military intelligence before the Second World War, the present Intelligence Corps was formally constituted with the consent of King George VI on 15 July 1940, with its formation promulgated in Army Order 112 on 19 July 1940. During the Second World War, Intelligence Corps personnel served in every theatre of operations, undertaking field security, prisoner interrogation, photographic interpretation, intelligence analysis and counter-intelligence duties. Members also served with organisations including the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and supported the wider British wartime intelligence effort, including work associated with Bletchley Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1940, the Intelligence Corps has supported British Army operations across the world, providing commanders with the intelligence needed to understand the operational environment, identify threats, assess risk and make informed decisions. Today, the Corps provides specialist military intelligence capabilities across operational intelligence, counter-intelligence, security, human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), open-source intelligence (OSINT) and intelligence support to British Army operations worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis premium display faithfully reproduces the King’s Crown pattern of the Intelligence Corps cap badge associated with the reign of His Majesty King Charles III.
