The mission of the 344th Military Intelligence Battalion is to train, develop, and educate premier cryptologic, military intelligence, and cyber professionals to excel in support of worldwide, multi-domain operations at all echelons—while preparing them to fight and win our Nation's wars and maintaining the wellbeing of our Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families.
Upon graduation, these Soldiers are tactically and technically competent, disciplined, physically fit, instilled with the Army values, and ready to immediately integrate into the Joint Force. Operating three separate companies with over 150 permanent party members, the battalion hosts more than 70 classes in session at any given time across 40 blocks of instruction, managing an annual throughput of approximately 1,500 students.
We do this by:
1. Execute Mission Command and Sustain the Battalion.
2. Refine and Execute Training for 35N, 35P, and 35S courses and 451 and 452 Functional Courses in an Interservice Training Review Organization (ITRO) Environment.
3. Develop and Sustain Cadre and Instructors.
4. Protect and Care for Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families.
