The Iraqi Directorate of General Military Intelligence (DGMI) (Arabic: مديرية الإستخبارات العسكرية العامة, romanized: Mudiriyyat al-Istikhabarat al-'Askariyya al-'Amma) was the military intelligence service of Iraq from 1932[1] to 2003.

Its responsibilities included: The DGMI is divided into a Special, Political and Administrative Bureau.

In 1979 a document called the Strategic Work Plan by Khalil al-Azzawi, who was head of operations for the DGMI was leaked.

The plan set goals of the overseas branches of the agency, e.g. the military attaché's office in London was told to provide reports of nuclear, chemical and bacteriological installations.

In a separate section Ba'ath agents were expected to uncover the structure of NATO forces such as its land, air and sea bases around the world, especially in the Mediterranean Sea.
