Military Intelligence Corps is the military intelligence arm of the United States Army. Responsible for providing campaign tactical intelligence and electronic warfare support.
history
There were intelligence officers when the Continental Army was created in 1775.
During the Civil War in January 1863, Major General Joseph Hooke created the Bureau of Military Intelligence for the Union Army, headed by George H. Sharpe. Alan Pinkerton and Lafayette C. Baker lead regional intelligence agencies. After the end of the Civil War in 1865, these institutions were abolished.
In 1885, the U.S. Army created the Military Intelligence Service (MID). In 1903, MI was elevated to the jurisdiction of the General Staff.
On January 1, 1942, the Intelligence Gendarmerie (CIP), created in World War I, was reorganized into the United States Army Anti-Intelligence Corps (CIC).
In March 1942, the Army Intelligence Division was reorganized into the Army Intelligence Department. Initially, there were only 26 people, including 16 officers. It soon expanded to 342, 1,000 soldiers and civilians. Set up:
- Administrative brigade
- Intelligence Corps
- Counterintelligence Corps
- Action Team
In May 1942, Alfred McCormack set up a special unit in the Department of Military Intelligence specifically for the Comintern. In 1945, the special division was reorganized into the U.S. Army Security Agency.
On July 1, 1962, the U.S. Army Intelligence Security Service was officially created.

In July 1967, a number of intelligence and security agencies were integrated into the U.S. Army as the Directorate of Military Intelligence. In 1971, the U.S. Army Intelligence Center was created at Fort Wachuca, Arizona.
At the end of 1974, Army Chief of Staff Frederick Webender decided to evaluate the effectiveness of the organization and management of the intelligence agency, given the fragmentation of Army intelligence. The assessment, known as the Intelligence Agency and Jobs Study, was conducted by a team of senior officers led by Major General James Usano. In mid-1975, the assessment team submitted a report recommending that the Army break up the existing intelligence apparatus and reorganize it. The U.S. Army decided to create a separate command to oversee the intelligence forces. As the Army's once largest signals intelligence agency, the Army Security Agency became the cornerstone of the new command. Training, R&D, and logistics were transferred to other Army commands.
The Tactical Signals Intelligence Detachment of the Army Security Service was also reclassified into the corps and divisional units they supported. On January 1, 1977, the Army Intelligence Agency and the Army Security Service merged to form the U.S. Army Intelligence Security Command, integrating the signals intelligence resources of the former Army Security Service and the counterintelligence and human intelligence resources of the former Army Intelligence Agency, and officially became an integrated intelligence agency on October 1, 1977. Headquartered at the Arlington Hall Workstation, Virginia, the command's function is to provide a wide range of intelligence and security products to military and higher units, and the first commander was Major General William Rowria.
U.S. Army Intelligence Security Command (INSCOM)
Ground-based signal listening stations include Augsburg and West Berlin in West Germany, Okinawa and Misawa in Japan, Sinop in Turkey, one in South Korea, Key West, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas. In late 1980, the Army Intelligence and Security Command built a new listening post in Cunha, Hawaii.
The Army Intelligence and Security Command established a unified intelligence processing unit, the Intelligence and Threat Analysis Center, on January 1, 1978. The U.S. Army Russian Research Institute in West Germany was also transferred to the command.
On 1 July 1987, the Military Intelligence Unit was organized into a regiment. All military intelligence officers of the US Army belong to the Military Intelligence Unit.
In 1988, the Army Intelligence and Security Command arrested retired Army noncommissioned officer Clyde Conrad, who leaked NATO combat plans to Hungarian intelligence. Army warrant officer James Hall who sold classified documents to East Germany and the Soviet Union was cracked at the end of 1988.
The Army Intelligence and Security Command was reorganized again in 1994, merging multiple Army intelligence analysis agencies to create the National Ground Intelligence Center in Charlottesville, Virginia. At the same time, it received workstations from Bad Abringer, Germany, and Manweis, England.

In 1977, the 66th Military Intelligence Group was stationed in West Germany to support the U.S. Army Group Europe and its two corps. It was expanded into the Military Intelligence Brigade in 1986. By Christmas Day 1990, the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade had deployed more than 1,000 troops in the Arabian Peninsula. In 1995, the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade was downgraded to an interim force.
In 1977, he was stationed in Panama to support the U.S. Army Group South and its infantry brigades, which were smaller and focused on Central American countries. A new listening post was built in Panama in 1982. Expanded scope of functions to support anti-narcotics efforts in Latin America. A military intelligence battalion was formed, equipped with floating air balloons, drones and electronic reconnaissance aircraft. At the end of 1989, in order to capture Panama President Ma Manuel Noriega, the US military launched the "Just Cause" military operation. The 470th Military Intelligence Group had complete control of Panamanian intelligence. The 470th Military Intelligence Group was abolished in 1997. In 2010, the 470th Military Intelligence Group was upgraded to a Military Intelligence Brigade.
In 1982, the 513th Military Intelligence Group was formed in Montmersburg, New Jersey. The mission is to provide intelligence support to the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force during contingency operations and to provide intelligence support to U.S. Forces in Europe in wartime. In peacetime, he is responsible for the daily training of the army's active duty and reserve forces. It was expanded into the Military Intelligence Brigade in 1986. In response to Iraq's occupation of Kuwait in 1990, the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade was deployed to the Arabian Peninsula. The Operations Center of the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade to support units above the corps level was expanded into a consolidated battalion to provide support to the intelligence services of the U.S. Army Group Center. The 513th Military Intelligence Brigade was relocated to Gordonburg in 1994 as a rapid response unit of the Department of Intelligence to participate in national-level missions with the Regional Security Operations Center. In the 2003 Iraq War, the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade was once again the protagonist, except for the brigade headquarters and direct companies remaining in the United States, the brigade was fully deployed to the Doha camp in Kuwait, and the brigade's Joint Intelligence Center was responsible for integrating intelligence for the commander of the ground forces.
