The 300th Military Intelligence Brigade is a United States Army formation, subordinate to the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) and headquartered in Draper, Utah.

Formed in 1988 from the 142nd Military Intelligence Battalion, the 300th provides linguistic support to the U.S. Army throughout the world. Numbering approximately 1400, with approximately 90% being trained Army linguists, the soldiers are organised as five-person teams, trained in HUMINT (such as interrogators, translators, interpreters and counterintelligence), and SIGINT (such as voice intercept and analyst) skills. The brigade covers 19 documented languages, heavily oriented toward Arabic, Persian, and Korean.

Currently, the brigade has six battalions:

* 141st Military Intelligence Battalion (Utah)
* 142nd Military Intelligence Battalion (Utah)
* 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion (California)
* 260th Military Intelligence Battalion (Florida)
* 341st Military Intelligence Battalion (Washington)
* 415th Military Intelligence Battalion (Louisiana)

ervice
