COMMENTARY : the NATIONAL COUNTER INTELLIGENCE CORPS

NCICA is a voluntary organization which was formed by groups around the United States following the end of World War II.  It’s basic history began in 1945 with two of the oldest groups still in existence and functioning:  the Military Intelligence Association of New England (MIANE) – and The New York Counter Intelligence Corps Association (NYCICA).  Now at Sixty five years, age is beginning to diminish original numbers.  The oldest members are leaving us, the middle agers are sustaining us and the young M.I.’ers seem to have no knowledge of us.  Based on past experience, when newspaper articles appear concerning the various group changes of Administration (Pres., Vice Pres., etc.) with blurbs that provide general background information on the individual accompanied by a brief outlining the organization, there is normally a surge of interest and inquiry by the long silent CIC’ers in the area.  (This Web site and NCICA’s publication “Golden Sphinx”has pretty well taken the place of Newspaper reports and publications.)  Along with the inquiry is the inevitable: ”I didn’t know anything like this existed!”; “where can I find you guys?” ; ”How can I join?”  If you are interested in keeping company with present and former Mil Intel people, NCICA just might be the organization for you.  Our membership numbers are reasonable at this time and in order to maintain the organization’s viability it is time to reach out and touch recent and present members of the Mil Intel community. Affiliates that have risen from the ashes of extinction in recent years can be found on theAffiliations page for specific Groups; information and inquiries can be made rep’s listed under Regional Vice Presidents and do not overlook members of theBoard of Directors.  When we left the ‘Bird or the Mil Intel training outfits we were cautioned to say nothing of our mission, to discuss nothing about our Intelligence affiliations and in general remain Silent.  A caveat that for us older guys lasted fifty five years and more for some.  We know that there are many facets of our activities that even today are not divulged or discussed.  BUT!  It is time that we (at least in a whisper) let our present Intelligence world know: we were and  we are.  This “note” is your invitation to join NCICA  as part of  the   living History of U.S. Military Intelligence.
