Counter Intelligence Corp

The Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) was a United States Army intelligence agency established during World War II in 1942. Its primary mission was to detect and prevent espionage, sabotage, and subversion against U.S. military forces. CIC agents operated both domestically and overseas, conducting investigations, security screenings, and counterespionage operations, particularly in the European and Pacific theaters. After the war, the CIC continued to operate during the early Cold War period before its functions were absorbed by the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps in 1961.
