About the Event
Each year, traditionally through the in-person formal Intelligence Awards Banquet, the NMIF and the U.S. Military Intelligence Community recognize outstanding performances by civilian, enlisted, and officer military intelligence professionals, and exceptional student scholarship winners. In response to unprecedented times as a result of COVID-19, the NMIF reimagined the annual Intelligence Awards Banquet with the creation of the virtual NMIF Night of Heroes. Through this event in 2020 and 2021, we gathered virtually as a community to recognize and celebrate the very best professionals and scholarship winners. We returned to our in-person celebration in 2022.
Recognition goes to individuals from all the Services, the Guard and Reserves, and the Military Intelligence Agencies. Selections for the awards are made by the Services and participating Intelligence Agencies. Attendees at the banquet includes members of the Intelligence Community and senior representatives of the Military Intelligence Organizations. The banquet is the nation's premier event to support and acknowledge the impressive contributions of the U.S. Military Intelligence community and the individual accomplishments of its all-star professionals. In addition, NMIF announces the winners of our Intelligence and National Security scholarships, and recognize these outstanding university students.
