524TH MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BATTALION

The 524th Military Intelligence Battalion was originally constituted on 5 May 1945 and activated in the Philippines during World War II, primarily supporting intelligence operations in the Pacific Theater. Reactivated and reorganized multiple times during the Cold War, the unit played a key role in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence in support of United States Forces Korea. Throughout its history, the 524th MI Battalion has provided critical human intelligence (HUMINT) and counterintelligence support, contributing to regional security and alliance operations on the Korean Peninsula. The battalion remains a vital asset in maintaining situational awareness and readiness for U.S. and allied forces in Northeast Asia.
