Intelligence Gathering
The Icelandic Defence Agency's Intelligence Unit (formerly The Icelandic Intelligence Service, or IIS) is charged with intelligence gathering for Defence purposes as well as expeditionary Peacekeeping operations. The Intelligence Unit's origins lie with the Sheriff of Keflavík International Airport. In 2007 it was transferred to the Defence Office and in 2008 to the Icelandic Defence Agency.

Famous quotes containing the words intelligence and/or gathering:
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
