Trenton Miguez: Decision-Making & Careers in Intelligence

What does it take to work in Military Intelligence, where decisions must be made with incomplete information and the stakes are often incredibly high? In this episode of Edutainment Learning, students from around the world sit down with Trenton Miguez, a former U.S. Army Military Intelligence Officer who spent more than a decade operating in complex and contested environments across the Middle East supporting counterterrorism, threat reduction, de-escalation, and protection missions. During his Army career, Trenton worked at the intersection of intelligence collection, analysis, and operational decision-making, helping leaders understand threats and act effectively in uncertain situations. He later served as the lead developer for the Army’s Military Intelligence Officer Leader Course and the Information Collection Planner Course, where he designed training programs used to prepare the next generation of U.S. Army intelligence officers.Are you an educator?
