470th Military Intelligence Brigade

The 470th Military Intelligence Brigade was originally constituted on 21 October 1944 as the 470th Counter Intelligence Corps Detachment and activated in France during World War II, providing critical counterintelligence support to Allied operations in Europe. After several reorganizations and assignments, the unit was reactivated and redesignated multiple times over the decades, reflecting evolving intelligence requirements. In 1986, it became the 470th Military Intelligence Brigade and was assigned to U.S. Army South, with its headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Today, the brigade provides multi-discipline intelligence support to U.S. Southern Command, focusing on operations in Latin America and the Caribbean.
