SECRET THE SERVICE FUNCTIONS OF ENEMY BRANCH INTRODUCTION 1. Enemy Branch (F.O. and M.E.W.) collates all current economic intelligence received by H.M. Government, including some which it itself collects; analyses and supplements this by a variety of processes; and makes the result available to all departments concerned. Chief among these are the Service departments. 2. Enemy Branch is not an inter-Service organisation in constitution, since it is not controlled or staffed by the Service departments; but it is an inter-Service organisation in function, in that it is chiefly occupied in providing intelligence and appreciations which the Services require but which their own Intelligence directorates are not organised to provide.
