The Corps of Guides was an administrative corps of the Non-Permanent Active Militia in Canada.[1][2][3] It was responsible for both intelligence staff duties as well as the collection of military intelligence for the defence of Canada through its mounted detachments (later cyclist companies) dispersed throughout the military districts of Canada.[4] The customs and traditions of the Corps of Guides are perpetuated in the Canadian Army today by the Canadian Intelligence Corps.
