The Intel Team was one of the five units of the Militaires Sans Frontières. The unit was responsible for gathering intelligence for MSF in regards to enemy activity, which involved investigating conflict regions, strongholds, and high-threat installations among other places of interest. They also offered support from Mother Base for MSF soldiers on field missions.
The Intel Team's investigations covered force strength, logistics, supply routes, planned operations and their feasibility, the chain of command at the location, and behavioral patterns at the target site, which included even the faces and family members of various personnel. Upon gaining this information, it was then dispatched to Mother Base in a report which was then used for planning infiltration missions. Depending on the developing situation, contract work could also be assigned to Intel Team agents. Intel Team agents generally infiltrate the target location alone, although they would call in choppers for emergency extraction if necessary. The Intel Team also often worked with the R&D Team to develop various radar equipment for MSF, and could also deliver supplies to allied mercenary units. It was brainstormed by Kazuhira Miller shortly after Sandinista child soldier Chico was rescued in Aldea de los Despiertos, Costa Rica.[1]
On December 7, 1974 at 05:31, an MSF Intel Unit Member known as Hideo requested extraction from his current location. Because of this, Big Boss had to personally infiltrate the location and ensure the agent's escape.
At some point later, Miller secretly sent an Intel Team agent to investigate the base in an attempt to gain a lead on Cipher's involvement, having suspected them of creating the black site, although this resulted in his capture and torture under Skull Face as well as representatives of various intelligence groups, including the MI6, the BND, the ISI, and at least one Soviet intelligence officer. He was later rescued by Big Boss on January 9, 1975.
After Chico disappeared in Cuba, the Intel Team was charged with locating him, eventually finding him at the prison camp alongside Paz Ortega Andrade (which corroborated Chico's earlier SOS transmission to MSF).
