The Directorate of Military Intelligence (French: Direction du renseignement militaire, DRM) is a French intelligence agency that has the task of collecting and centralizing military intelligence information for the French Armed Forces. Created in 1992, after Gulf War, its role is similar to that of the DIA (United States), the DI (United Kingdom) or the GRU (Russian Federation). It was formed by merging the Army Intelligence Bureau (Bureaux de Renseignement des armées) and the Military Intelligence Exploitation Centre (Centre d'exploitation du Renseignement Militaire).[2] The DRM reports directly to the Chief of Staff and to the President of France, supreme commander of the French military.
The DRM is part of the French Intelligence Community.
