On order, the 368th Military Intelligence Battalion provides well trained and equipped soldiers who conduct many counterintelligence activities, to meet the operational intelligence requirements of Combatant Commands and the United States Intelligence Community. Their mission is to provide intelligence and electronic warfare (IEW) operations support for the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade in support of the Korean Theater. In peacetime, the battalion provides global Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) support to Army operations.

The 368th Military Intelligence Battalion had companies and detachments located in Oakland, California, however because of BRAC changes, the headquarters was moved to a new facility at Camp Parks, California in 2010. The 368th MI Battalion remains partially located at the General George Smith Patton, Jr. United States Army Reserve Center in Bell, California. The companies in Bell were initially formed from the personnel and facilities of the former 140th Military Intelligence Battalion (CEWI) (HD) which was deactivated essentially simultaneously with the activation of the 368th; the 140th's lineage and colors were not inherited by the 368th.
