226th MI Detachment

The 226th Military Intelligence Detachment was a U.S. Army unit activated during the Vietnam War era to provide specialized intelligence support. Initially organized in the 1960s, the detachment was assigned to various commands, including the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), where it played a crucial role in signals intelligence (SIGINT) and counterintelligence operations. The unit's mission included intercepting enemy communications, analyzing captured documents, and supporting combat operations with timely intelligence. After its service in Vietnam, the 226th MI Detachment was eventually inactivated as part of broader Army restructuring efforts in the postwar period.
