The '''Main Directorate of Military Intelligence''' (GUVR), sometimes referred to by its official name of the '''Main Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai''', is the foreign [[Wikipedia:Military intelligence|military intelligence]] directorate of the [[Pelinese Armed Forces (Pacifica)|Pelinese Armed Forces]]. It is Pelinai’s highest military intelligence organization and is responsible for both performing military intelligence functions on behalf of the General Staff and coordinating activities and knowledge-sharing between branch-level military intelligence entities.
The '''Main Directorate of Military Intelligence (GUVR)''', formally the '''Main Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai''', is the central [[w:Military intelligence|military intelligence]] organization of the [[Pelinese Armed Forces (Pacifica)|Pelinese Armed Forces]]. It directs the strategic-level military intelligence activities of the Pelinese military and oversees its other military intelligence entities, including both branch-level agencies and directly subordinated divisions.


The GUVR, rather than being a traditional branch of the Pelinese Armed Forces or a separate agency under the [[Pelinese Ministry of Defense (Pacifica)|Ministry of Defense]] altogether, is a direct subordinate entity of the [[General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai (Pacifica)|General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai]]. Its highest officer is the Director of the GUVR, who works under the authority of the Chief of General Staff and by extension the Pelinese Minister of Defense. In addition to operating independently, GUVR personnel and other assets may be attached to military intelligence and other components of the regular Pelinese Armed Forces; command of GUVR Special Forces units in particular may be assigned to active [[Wikipedia:Theater (warfare)#Soviet and Russian Armed Forces|Theaters of Military Operations]] (TVDs) as wartime operational goals dictate.
The GUVR is placed under the general staff of the Pelinese Armed Forces, rather than a specific branch or the wider [[Pelinese Ministry of Defense (Pacifica)|Pelinese Ministry of Defense]]. Administrative supervision is assigned to the chief of general staff, while operational command is exercised by the Director of the GUVR under the minister of defense. Its principal subordinate agencies include the military intelligence agencies of the [[Pelinese White Army (Pacifica)|Pelinese White Army]], the [[Royal Pelinese Navy (Pacifica)|Royal Pelinese Navy]], the [[Royal Pelinese Air Force (Pacifica)|Royal Pelinese Air Force]], and the [[Royal Pelinese Space Force (Pacifica)|Royal Pelinese Space Force]], as well as the [[Royal Pelinese Homeland Guard (Pacifica)|Royal Pelinese Homeland Guard]] when it is reassigned to the MoD; it also possesses multiple non-branch-associated entities such as the Spetsnaz-GUVR, the Intelligence Analysis Corps, and the Regional Activities Divisions.


GUVR operatives are believed to be numerous, and the directorate as whole is a significant component of Pelinai’s foreign intelligence capabilities. Unlike the [[Directorate of Foreign Intelligence (Pacifica)|Directorate of Foreign Intelligence (UVR)]], which specializes in political and industrial espionage, the GUVR is more known for sabotage, clandestine raids, and psychological warfare operations. Allegations regarding the execution of assassinations and other targeted killing operations by GUVR agents have also been made in the past, but remain unconfirmed.
As a military intelligence agency, the primary responsibilities of the GUVR include collection of strategic and operational intelligence on matters relating to foreign militaries, such as the assessment of foreign military capabilities, the monitoring and interception of communications, the identification and location of military targets, and other such tasks, as well as tactical-level operations such as electronic reconnaissance. The GUVR also operates a significant force of [[w:Special forces|special forces]], the [[Spetsnaz GUVR (Pacifica)|Spetsnaz GUVR]], which performs [[w:Special reconnaissance|special reconnaissance]] and [[w:Direct action (military)|direct action]] operations in support of both peacetime foreign policy objectives and military operations.

The GUVR has repeatedly been accused of engaging in illegal assassinations of high-value targets abroad, but this has never been conclusively proven.

The GUVR possesses a dedicated unit for the execution of assassinations and [[w:Targeted killing|targeted killings]], unnamed in official statements but tentatively referred to as the ''Gālāndi'' division in the media.

The Main Directorate of Military Intelligence (GUVR), formally the Main Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai, is the central military intelligence organization of the Pelinese Armed Forces. It directs the strategic-level military intelligence activities of the Pelinese military and oversees its other military intelligence entities, including both branch-level agencies and directly subordinated divisions.

The GUVR is placed under the general staff of the Pelinese Armed Forces, rather than a specific branch or the wider Pelinese Ministry of Defense. Administrative supervision is assigned to the chief of general staff, while operational command is exercised by the Director of the GUVR under the minister of defense. Its principal subordinate agencies include the military intelligence agencies of the Pelinese White Army, the Royal Pelinese Navy, the Royal Pelinese Air Force, and the Royal Pelinese Space Force, as well as the Royal Pelinese Homeland Guard when it is reassigned to the MoD; it also possesses multiple non-branch-associated entities such as the Spetsnaz-GUVR, the Intelligence Analysis Corps, and the Regional Activities Divisions.

As a military intelligence agency, the primary responsibilities of the GUVR include collection of strategic and operational intelligence on matters relating to foreign militaries, such as the assessment of foreign military capabilities, the monitoring and interception of communications, the identification and location of military targets, and other such tasks, as well as tactical-level operations such as electronic reconnaissance. The GUVR also operates a significant force of special forces, the Spetsnaz GUVR, which performs special reconnaissance and direct action operations in support of both peacetime foreign policy objectives and military operations.

Function

Military intelligence

Covert operations

The execution of clandestine raids, sabotage missions, capture or rescue of high-value persons in foreign or otherwise denied territory, and other covert military operations is a core function of the GUVR and is performed by the Spetsnaz-GUVR special forces. While comparable troops of the White Army Special Forces, RPN Morspetsy, RPAF Special Forces, and other special forces formations of the regular Pelinese Armed Forces are capable of performing covert operations, the Spetsnaz-GUVR are intended to successfully execute clandestine direct action and unconventional warfare missions such as targeted strikes and raids outside of a traditional conflict environment and in diplomatically denied areas such as neutral nations.

Targeted killings and assassinations

The GUVR possesses a dedicated unit for the execution of assassinations and targeted killings, unnamed in official statements but tentatively referred to as the Gālāndi division in the media. Along with similar units in the Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, it acts as the primary vehicle for the assassination of high-value targets outside of Pelinai.

Psychological warfare

Cyberwarfare

In contrast with the more prominent cyberwarfare commands of the Royal Pelinese Space Force, which typically perform offensive cyberwarfare operations, organic cyber units of the GUVR primarily execute espionage and data theft tasks.

Organizational structure

The organizational structure of the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence is classified in nearly its entirety, but preliminary estimates have been constructed using various sources such as the structure of the preceding White Army MIS and SMERKOM, sparse declassified and partially redacted documents, and unclassified intelligence reports from other nations.

Subdirectorates

The following is an estimation of the internal structure of the GUVR, which remains classified:

Regional subdirectorates:

  • First Subdirectorate: activities in Bailtem
  • Second Subdirectorate: activities in Bareland and Keyli
  • Third Subdirectorate: activities in Cordilia and Crabry

Bloc subdirectorates:

Mission subdirectorates:

  • Fifth Subdirectorate: military operational intelligence
  • Sixth Subdirectorate: psychological and information warfare operations
  • Seventh Subdirectorate: military technology
  • Eighth Subdirectorate: SIGINT/ELINT/cyberwarfare operations
  • Ninth Subdirectorate: IMINT and satellite operations
  • Tenth Subdirectorate: strategic doctrine development and evaluation
  • Eleventh Subdirectorate: direct actions (Spetsnaz-GUVR, Gālāndi teams)

Other departments:

  • Public relations department
  • Support and technical department

Legal agents

Details regarding the usage by the GUVR of legal espionage agents operating under diplomatic cover is classified as a state secret, as is their organizational structure, but their presence is estimated to be extensive. Intelligence officers in this category are likely present under the cover of being diplomatic personnel at Pelinese embassies, from which they may perform standard intelligence gathering activities.

Illegal agents

The names, locations, organizational arrangements, and other articles of information regarding illegal agents of the GUVR are classified and highly protected due to the risk of prosecution or execution for espionage or treason. The GUVR’s employment of illegal agents as spies and informants is credibly estimated to be high. Agents of this category may adopt a variety of different covers, and no fixed organizational pattern exists.

Special forces

The arrangement and locations of Spetsnaz-GUVR teams are classified. The entire GUVR is estimated to possess between three and ten brigades of special forces personnel, which normally operate as part of their parent organization; however, during wartime scenarios, spetsnaz-GUVR brigades and detachments may be assigned to the command of operational military forces by GUVR leadership. Receiving commands in such instances are always strategic or operational-level formations such as field armies, fronts, and TVDs, and are expected to use them for the execution of normal wartime special forces missions in support of conventional military operations.
The most prominent GUVR Special Forces unit in current service is Vera Group, most operations by which are currently classified.
