4 unusual facts about 2 Intelligence Company


2 Intelligence Company

2 Intelligence Company formally returned to the Canadian Army’s Order of Battle on October 29, 1993 as Land Force Central Intelligence Company.

2 Intelligence Company (abbreviated 2 Int Coy) is a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve intelligence unit based in Toronto, head-quartered at Denison Armoury, and is an asset of the 4th Canadian Division.

Founded by Sir William Stephenson (more popularly known by his codename ‘The Man Called Intrepid’), Camp X operated from 1941 to 1946 as a vital co-operative training ground for agents in Canadian, British and American service, who were subsequently inserted deep in Nazi-occupied Europe.

As a result the Canadian Army had no officers or men trained in "field intelligence" at the beginning of World War II.
