From the transcript

It's the side of warfare that never really gets talked about, and that's for a reason. In peacetime, intelligence work is vital to any national security apparatus, looking at any escalating tension or frozen conflict, any resistance movement or non- state act to try to further their goals. But in wartime, the value of good intelligence goes through the roof.

A few choice words and a cultivated source can save a thousand lives, further a field, a stolen scroll or flash drive can reveal enemies' best kept secrets, and if an agent can get advanced notice of what an enemy plans to do next, they can do a lot more than simply save the day. They can win the war.

Military intelligence is the war all around the war, an urgent effort that goes behind enemy lines, far away from the battlefield, and at the highest levels of tactical and strategic leadership.
