Did you know?
The badge of Australian Intelligence Corps, which was modeled on the British Army Intelligence Corps badge and accepted in 1953, has the motif of a white and red Tudor rose flanked by laurel leaves and resting on a scroll inscribed 'Australian Intelligence Corps'. A crown surmounts the whole motif. The rose symbolises security, which is derived from the Cromwellian use of a rose displayed to indicate when secret matters were being discussed. The laurel wreath depicts honour and the crown represents allegiance to the sovereign.

In short, the role of Aust Int Corps is encapsulated in the corps' motto - 'Forewarned, Forearmed'.
