Summary/Abstract: Military operations are always based on well developed plans, which should ensure, at least from the point of view of the person who uses them, if not victory, at least an advantage that can be exploited, thus achieving the desired result. Planners’ experience is always decisive but, for the plan to be as complete as possible, it should span much information. The quality of information is also one of the most important issues, which should be treated very seriously. In this context, HUMINT, in spite of current technological advancements, is still necessary to provide information about the enemy intentions, political activity and strategic concepts.
