The Directorate of Military Intelligence ((ヘブライ語:אגף המודיעין), ''Agaf HaModi'in'' – lit. "the Intelligence Section"; (アラビア語:شعبة الاستخبارات العسكرية)), often abbreviated to Aman ((ヘブライ語:אמ"ן); (アラビア語:آمان)), is the central, overarching military intelligence body of the Israel Defense Forces. Aman was created in 1950, when the Intelligence Department was spun off from the IDF's General Staff (then, Agam: אג"ם); the Intelligence Department itself was composed largely of former members of the Haganah Intelligence Service (HIS). Aman is an independent service, and not part of the ground forces, navy or the Israeli Air Force. It is one of the main entities in the Israeli Intelligence Community, along with Mossad (national intelligence) and Shin Bet (general security). It is currently headed by Major General Aviv Kochavi. It has a staff of 7,000 personnel (1996 estimate). Its special forces and field-reconnaissance unit is Sayeret Matkal, and its elite training course is Havatzalot Program. ==Roles and jurisdiction== The IDF's Intelligence Corps (חיל המודיעין), abbreviated as Haman (חמ"ן) and headed by a brigadier general, has been detached from Aman since the Yom Kippur War, but remains under its jurisdiction. In April 2000, the newest IDF corps was founded (the IDF's fifth land corps), the Field Intelligence Corps (חיל מודיעין השדה), abbreviated as Modash (מוד"ש). It was designed to fulfill some of Aman's former combat intelligence functions, and is also headed by a Brigadier General. Unlike Haman, however, Modash falls under the operational jurisdiction of the GOC Army Headquarters, abbreviated as Mazi (מז"י), and currently headed by Major General Yiftach Ron-Tal (as of June 10, 2005, outgoing: to be replaced by Major General Benny Gantz, outgoing head of GOC Northern Command). It still falls under Aman's professional jurisdiction however. In 1976, according to the ''Lexicon of National Security'', some of Aman's principal roles consisted of: #Intelligence evaluation for security policy, military planning and "fluid security policy," and the dissemination of intelligence to IDF and governmental bodies. #Field security at the level of the General Staff (today, Matkal: מטכ"ל), and the training and operation of field security in general (all levels). #The operation of military censorship. #Direction and operation of the 'Collection Agencies'. #Drawing maps; providing the direction and supervision for the dissemination of maps. #The development of 'special measures' for intelligence work. #The development of intelligence doctrine in the realms of research, collection, and field security. #Staff responsibility for military attachés overseas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Military Intelligence Directorate (Israel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
