3 Intelligence Company (abbreviated 3 Int Coy) is a line unit reporting directly to the 5th Canadian Division which is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Intelligence Operators & Intelligence Officers of the unit train regularly to augment their Regular Force counterparts on domestic and foreign operations.
Tracing its lineage to the original 3 Intelligence Company (1950) that was dissolved at Unification, the current unit was stood up on November 4, 1995 at a parade near the old library building in Royal Artillery Park, downtown Halifax.[citation needed]
