Summary/Abstract: The conduct of the World War I military operations, including those of the Romanian troops, was influenced by the diplomatic actions and games of the Great European Powers, as well as by the information superiority of the opponents of our country. This is how the Army’s Intelligence Service was reorganized, its missions contributing to the identification of foreign espionage and propaganda institutions, the determination of their leadership and objectives, and the degree of danger that could affect Romania’s security. The evolutions of the war led to the reconfiguration of the objectives in the field of Romanian military information, aiming to improve the methods, means and procedures of information gathering, adopting modern technical means of collecting data and information, following the support and close cooperation with the French Military Mission.
