A non-commissioned member of the Canadian military intelligence branch has been charged with passing classified information to a "foreign entity," the Department of National Defence revealed late Thursday.

Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar was arrested by military police and faces eight charges under the National Defence Act.

He’s accused of — among other things — communicating "special operational information" and breach of trust, according to a statement issued by the Defence Department.

The statement does not name the foreign entity.

I didn't know military intelligence had noncoms. How does that work?

Did you think all the work was done by commissioned officers?

Intelligence does seem like the white-collar kind of thing which might be left to fancy degreed officers.

I was thinking about things like repairing recorders, PCs, pulling cables, general office work, etc. Not so much analysis or operational decisions.

And then you can be promoted to chief cable-puller, valued for your expert knowledge of how wartime cables are pulled, I guess?
