In addition to the couriterihtelligence responsibilities recognized in 30-25 and the usual field security counterlnte.lligence mission, there exist other counterintelligence responsibilities which fall upon cxmnnanders of geographical areas and which must be assumed by theater commanders and the caom ranotw o1 units therein, but for which no personnel vision is made in Tables of Organization. These responsibilities are those connectea with prevention or neutralization of the activities of enemy agents within the territory occupied. Included in these responsibilities are the need for the prevention of the entrance of enemy spies into the territory and the prevention of their communication of information obtained to the enemy once they are in such territory, together with the neutralization of their espionage activities. Also incluoed is the need for the prevention of the entrance of enemy saboteurs into the territory and the prevention of their reaching installations vital to the military effort. This counterintelligence mission requires personnel particularly trained and specially qcr.alified. The fulfillment of this phase of the counterintelligence mission demands organization upon a territorial basie, with provision for personnel to remain in the territory, operating without being moved with tactical organizations. The necessity that a number of men in this work be placed undercover for long periods of time and that many operate over exterded periods without in any way disclosing their connection with the Army, emphactzes tnc need for a Corps free from the limitations and the control of smaller tactical Un.: * s. b. The mission of the Counter Intelligence Corps is to furnish appropriate commanders with carefully selected personnel specially trained and equipped to assist commanders in the performance of the duties incident to this type of counterintelligence coverage and the riseslor. of field security. It will not serve tc replace or assume responsibility for tactical security or couwtersubversive installations rrescribed for all field force units. Q. In order to accomplish this mission, the Counter Intelligence Corps will utilize commissioned and enlisted personnel which has been carefully selected and thoroughly trained. This personnel will be fully investigated as to its loyalty, discretion, and basic qualificationras prior to its transfer to the Counter Intelligence Corps. d. This anual furnishes the basic prirciples of the operation of the Counter Intellience Corps anrc it will govern the organization, administration, operation and employment of Counter Intelligence Corps personnel. Where applicable, its provisions apply equally to Counter Intelligence Corps activities in the zone of the interior and in theaters of operati ons. 2. Freedom of action.--a. It is essential to the effective accomplishment of the Counter Intelligence Corps mission that the personnel of the Corps be encouraged to exercise....,:... the Lu h.... ".. t a It1 l"tes....... strictions upoc its movements or channels of communication. Counter Intelligence Corps credentials and beiages will be. honored at all t:mee. The personnel of the Corps is frequently tioua action sa, when engaged upon such misnlons, it must not be delayed by the observance of standard cLstous and prohibitions. Speed is an essential of counterintelligence, and lateral coom.ur.-ation between Counter Intell gence Corps echelons is authorized. - 1 -
Page 2 b. In order for Counter Intelligence Corps detachments to perform their missions effecLively, expeditiously, and in a secret manner, it is essential that the cun wanding officer of ea.rh detachwent haYve full authority, in appropriate circumstancon, to direct tlhe movemet of his men within the area of his jurisdiction upon his verbal authuorintion and without eithr previous or subsequent written orders. It Is further advisable that the comnmanding officer of the Counter Intelligence Corps detachment attached to a theater of orer tior ns be designated an assistant adjutant general for purposes of preparing and issuing classified orders to Counter Intelligence Corps personnel. 3. General supervision.--The Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, War Department, will prescribe policies governing the administration, operation, and employment of the Counter Intelligence Corps. The Military Intelligence Service, War Department, acting through the office of the Chiet, Counter Intelligence Corps, will render general supervision over all Counter Intelligence Corps activities, but the immediate supervision of operational activities of the Counter Intelligence Corps will be exercised by the commands in which detachments are serving. 4. FuncL on of coand.--The employment of the Counter Intelligence Corps is a basic function of courand and is an operational activity. The commander of any organization with which Counter Intelligence Corps personnel is serving, is responsible for the proper and effective organization, administration, and employment of such personnel. In the discharge of this responsibility, these commanders will be governed by the policies established pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3. 5. Juriopiction.--The jurisdiction of the Counter Intelligence Corps is limited by the counterintelligence jurisdiction of the command with which it is serving. The extent of this jurisdiction in the zone of the interior will be limited by the Delimitation Agreement of February 22, 1942, entered into by Military Intelligence Division, Office of Naval Intelligence, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In departments, and defense, service, and base carommands overseas, jurisdiction is limited by the counterintelligence responsibility of the comend. In theaters of operations, jurisdiction is limited by the policies of the comr. rding general of the theater, and by existing international agreements. 6. Power of arrest.--j. The personnel of the Counter Intelligence Corps on duty in the United States has only that power of arrest which all citizens of the [inited States possess; that is, the power to arrest any person in the act of committing a felony. b. Counter Intelligence Corps personnel in theaters of operations will have full power and authority to make arrests in cases within its jurisdiction where it is apparent that the arrest being made is essential to the performance of the:counterintelligence mission and that its accomplishment is not in violation of any policy of the commanding general of the theater of operations with respect to such enforcement activities. 7. Publicity.--a. The fact of the existence of the Counter Intelligence Corps will not be considered as classified information. However, every effort will be made to keep identities, locations of personnel, and methods of operation confidential. In the event that contact Is unavoidably made with individuals connected with the press, radio, or other news agencies, every effort will be made to prevent publicity.. Since Counter Intelligence Corps personnel will, from time to time, be used in undercover capacities, identification cards furnished such personnel will bear no military title. This applies particularly to post exchange and gasoline cards. It is deemed advisable that Counter Intelligence Corps personnel be addressed by all concerned as "Mister" during conversations twhich might divulge the identity of such personnel and its connection with the Counter Intelligence Corps, in a manner which might be detrimental to the Military Intelligence mission. Normally, such personnel will be addressed as "Mister" when in civilian clothing arnd by military title hen in uniform., Eqtsasia will be placed upon the protection of the identity of Counter Intelligence Corp. persannel both in the interest of the missjon and to protect the lives of the personnel. The identity of mmbers of the Corp. will be disclosed to the minimum number of civilian or military persomnel. All members of the Corps are constantly subject to being placed on undercover or other missions where a knowledge by others of their identity would seriously jeopardie the success of the mission axd erdanger their lives. -'2 -
