There were only 11 infantrymen in the entire division that earned it, so the division commander decided that my men couldn't be awarded the EIB. I tried everything, including personally going up the chain (I made it as far as the Brigade Commander). The final answer was no.

But, I spent most of my almost 33 years as a MP, and one of the MP missions is intelligence gathering both in garrison and in combat; both specified and implied and depending the mission. <br /><br />As a former Scout PL, and Armor Officer, the easiest way for me to explain the MP mission(s) on the battlefield to Supported Commanders who that did not know (most understand now), was a comparison to what Scouts did in terms of screening and covering the front and flanks, MPs do/did the same in the rear, in a traditional linear mission. Light Scouts look just like MPs.. or we look like them?<br /><br />Today, the missions are wide area security and maneuver and mobility support (used to be area security, which include area, zone, and route reconnaissance) as a component of other missions; hence the implied task. <br /><br />The other specified mission we have is Police Intelligence Operations, which is essentially collection and processing of Police and Criminal Intelligence both in Garrison and in Combat, where as our Cav brothers focus on Tactical Intel.<br /><br />I also worked for 1st Cav during the Surge...
