MI characters at various levels will have access to different intelligence. It sounds like your character is at the battalion or brigade level. Their focus is, or ought to be, of the over-the-next-hill variety. Some operational and strategic information does work its way down to the tactical level, but tactical guys seldom have detailed information on things outside their unit's area of responsibility. Tactical MI has a lot to worry about in their own back yard without getting wrapped up with what's going on three blocks away. That much said, an overall picture of events supplemented with bigger-picture information of direct relevance (Fourth Guard Tank Army is across the Vistula and may be headed your way) is appropriate.
