The Intelligence Regiment (Danish: Efterretningsregimentet, EFR) is a regiment of the Royal Danish Army. It was originally created as the Army Intelligence Centre (Danish: Hærens Efterretnings Center), and was a collection of all intelligence units, created by the Danish Defence Agreement 2013-2017 on the basis of lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq.[3] Following the Danish Defence Agreement 2018–23, the centre was upgraded to a regiment and the name was changed.
