[FEDweek] The Army activated its new Counterintelligence Command recently during a ceremony at its Fort Meade, Maryland, headquarters. The new command, acronym ACIC, is replacing the 902nd Military Intelligence Group.
Like its predecessor, ACIC is charged with detection, identification, neutralization and exploitation of foreign intelligence, terrorists, insiders or any other foreign adversaries who threaten to undermine the Army’s or DoD’s strategic advantage.
"Today’s military environment is defined by rapid technological change and intense strategic competition from our adversaries," said Brig Gen. Rhett R. Cox, ACIC’s first commanding general. "We must do our part to ensure we are competing, imposing costs and [shaking] our enemies’ belief that they can operate uncontested." |
