The '''Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division'''<ref name=CID_History /><ref name=CID_Command /> ('''CID'''), previously known as the '''United States Army Criminal Investigation Command''' ('''USACIDC''') is the primary federal law enforcement agency of the [[United States Department of the Army]]. Its primary function is to investigate [[felony]] crimes and serious violations of [[Uniform Code of Military Justice|military law]] and the United States Code within the [[US Army]]. The division is an independent federal law enforcement agency with investigative autonomy; CID [[special agents]], both military and civilian, report through the CID [[chain of command]] to the CID Director, who reports directly to the [[United States Under Secretary of the Army|Under Secretary of the Army]] and the [[United States Secretary of the Army|Secretary of the Army]]. Unlike their counterparts at [[Department of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations|OSI]] and [[Naval Criminal Investigative Service|NCIS]], Army CID does not have primary counterintelligence responsibilities.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.specialagents.org/army-cid | title=Army CID | access-date=18 October 2022 | archive-date=6 December 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206074111/https://www.specialagents.org/army-cid | url-status=live ))</ref>

==Overview==
The division does not charge individuals with crimes; instead, CID investigates allegations and turns official findings over to the appropriate command and legal authority for disposition and adjudication. CID exercises jurisdiction over military personnel who are suspected of offenses under the [[Uniform Code of Military Justice]], as well as civilian personnel when there is [[probable cause]] to believe the person has committed an offense under the criminal laws of the United States with a nexus to the Department of Defense.  CID special agents may be military personnel ([[Non-commissioned officer|NCO]]s or [[warrant officers]]), or sworn civilian personnel.

Within the United States Army, CID has exclusive jurisdiction in the investigation of all serious, felony level crimes with the exception of certain national security crimes such as espionage, treason, and certain aspects of international terrorism. Investigative jurisdiction within the Army of these crimes resides with [[United States Army Counterintelligence|U.S. Army Counterintelligence (ACI)]], although joint and parallel investigations can and do happen depending on specific circumstances (most commonly with terrorism investigations).<ref>((Cite web | url=https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/Details.aspx?PUB_ID=105854 | title=Army Publishing Directorate | access-date=13 October 2018 | archive-date=14 October 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181014091307/https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/Details.aspx?PUB_ID=105854 | url-status=live ))</ref>

USACIDC was established as a United States Army command in 1971 and is headquartered at [[Marine Corps Base, Quantico]], [[Virginia]]. Worldwide, the organization has slightly fewer than 3,000 soldiers and civilians, of whom approximately 900 are special agents. The initialism "USACIDC" was used to refer to the Army command itself, while criminal investigation personnel and operations are commonly referred to using the shortened initialism "CID", which has its history in the original Criminal Investigation Division formed during [[World War I]]. The name restoration to Criminal Investigation Division became official after 2021 reform.

==History==
During World War I, General [[John J. Pershing]] ordered the creation of a separate organization within the [[United States Army Military Police Corps|Military Police Corps]] to prevent and detect crime among the [[American Expeditionary Force]] in France. The newly created Criminal Investigation Division (CID) was headed by a division chief who served as the advisor to the Provost Marshal General on all matters relating to criminal investigations. However, operational control of CID still remained with individual provost marshals, and there was no central control of investigative efforts within the organization, resulting in limitations. At the end of the war, the United States Army was reduced in size during the transition to peacetime and the size of CID shrank dramatically.

With the United States' entry into [[World War II]] in December 1941, the armed forces rapidly swelled in size and the Army once again became a force of millions, and the need for a self-policing law enforcement system rematerialized. However, by early 1942, investigations of crimes committed by military personnel were still considered to be a "command function" to be conducted by local military police personnel. The Office of The Provost Marshal General felt that the agents in the Investigations Department were not properly trained for criminal investigations, the only investigations taking place at the time being personnel security background investigations for individuals being considered for employment in defense industries. As the Army had expanded, the crime rate had risen, and local commanders did not have the personnel or resources to conduct adequate investigations. By December 1943, the Provost Marshal General was charged with providing staff supervision over all criminal investigations, and a month later in January 1944, the Criminal Investigation Division was reestablished under the Provost Marshal General's Office. The organization exercised supervision over criminal investigation activities, coordinated investigations between commands, dictated plans and policies, and set standards for criminal investigators.

After the war, the CID was once again decentralized, with control of criminal investigations transferred to area commands in the 1950s and further down to the installation level in the 1960s. A [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] study in 1964 entitled ''Project Security Shield'' made clear that complete recentralization of the Army's criminal investigative effort was needed in order to produce a more efficient and responsive worldwide capability. Beginning in 1965, criminal investigative elements were reorganized into CID groups corresponding to geographical areas in the United States. In 1966, the concept was introduced to units in Europe and the Far East. However, this arrangement did not fully resolve all the coordination problems, and in 1969, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Agency was established to supervise all CID operations worldwide.

As the agency did not have command authority, in March 1971, [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] [[Melvin Laird]] directed the [[United States Secretary of the Army|Secretary of the Army]] to form a CID command with command and control authority over all Army-wide CID assets. On 17 September 1971, the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command was established as a [[United States Army#Army commands and army service component commands|major Army command]], vested with command and control of all CID activities and resources worldwide.<ref name=CID_History />

In 2020, the high profile murder of [[Murder of Vanessa Guillén|Vanessa Guillén]] at [[Fort Hood]] raised concerns related to the capabilities, experience, and resourcing of the Command. The Fort Hood Independent Review Committee (FHIRC) issued a finding that Fort Hood CID investigators assigned to their cases were hampered by a checklist mentality from their beginnings as junior investigators straight out of initial training in [[Fort Leonard Wood]].<ref name= fhirc>[https://www.army.mil/e2/downloads/rv7/forthoodreview/2020-12-03_FHIRC_report_redacted.pdf FHIRC (NOVEMBER 6, 2020) Report of the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220330142048/https://www.army.mil/e2/downloads/rv7/forthoodreview/2020-12-03_FHIRC_report_redacted.pdf |date=30 March 2022 )) Redacted</ref><ref name= cidFailings /> The majority of CID investigators were then detailed to protective services for senior Pentagon officials, thereby moving straight to middle management CID positions without the requisite experience in criminal investigation.<ref name= cidFailings >((Cite web |url=https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/12/15/army-cid-is-burned-out-and-mismanaged-by-military-police-leadership-special-agents-say/ |title=Kyle Rempfer (15 Dec 2020) Army CID is burned out and mismanaged by military police leadership, special agents say |access-date=15 December 2020 |archive-date=11 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221111180114/https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/12/15/army-cid-is-burned-out-and-mismanaged-by-military-police-leadership-special-agents-say/ |url-status=live ))</ref> The Provost Marshal is using the FHIRC report as a guide for reforming the CID.<ref name= cidFailings /> Army Senior Leaders called for the transformation of the organization and authority over the agency was transferred from the [[United States Army Provost Marshal General|provost marshal general]] to a civilian director reporting to the [[United States Under Secretary of the Army|under secretary of the Army]].<ref name=stripes>((cite news|last=Thayer|first=Rose|title=Army CID will cede oversight to a civilian director in a major reform of the agency|language=en|magazine=[[Stars and Stripes (newspaper)|Stars and Stripes]]|date=2021-05-06|url=https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/army-cid-will-cede-oversight-to-a-civilian-director-in-a-major-reform-of-the-agency-1.672507|access-date=14 February 2022|archive-date=11 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211131456/https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/army-cid-will-cede-oversight-to-a-civilian-director-in-a-major-reform-of-the-agency-1.672507|url-status=live))</ref><ref>((cite news|last=Losey|first=Stephen|title=Army Picks First Civilian Head of Investigations Division|language=en|magazine=[[Military.com]]|date=2021-08-13|url=https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/08/13/army-picks-first-civilian-head-of-investigations-division.html|access-date=14 February 2022|archive-date=11 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211131455/https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/08/13/army-picks-first-civilian-head-of-investigations-division.html|url-status=live))</ref>

On 17 September 2021, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the agency, Special Agent Gregory D. Ford, formerly the Deputy Director of Operations for the [[Naval Criminal Investigative Service]], assumed responsibility as the first civilian director. Furthermore, it was also announced that the Criminal Investigation Command was being renamed the Criminal Investigation Division, the name which was first associated with the organization in 1918.

==Selection and training==
CID is not accepting any military applications as of 2022.  The only hiring path is through federal civil service and their job postings are advertised via USAjobs.gov.  In the past, Military Special Agent candidates must be currently serving in the active Army or Army Reserve. There are no active Army National Guard CID units. Candidates must be enlisted soldiers who are US citizens, at least 21 years of age, and in the ranks of SPC-SGT or SSG with less than 12 months time in grade, and a graduate of the Basic Leader Course (BLC). Candidates must have had at least two years of military service, but not more than 12, at least one year of military police experience or two years of civilian law enforcement experience and a minimum of 60 college credit hours. Other requirements include (but are not limited to) credit checks, no physical limitation, and have the ability to deploy worldwide, normal color vision, the ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance, a drivers license and no history of mental or emotional disorders. Some requirements may be waived.<ref name="Entry">((cite web|url=http://www.cid.army.mil/join_CID.html|title=Join CID|publisher=USACIDC|access-date=3 August 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727160530/http://www.cid.army.mil/join_CID.html|archive-date=27 July 2009))</ref>

To qualify for Warrant Officer positions, candidates must be at least a Sergeant/E-5, currently serving as a Special Agent, with 2 years of investigative experience with CID, have a Top Secret clearance and a bachelor's degree (waiverable). Candidates must have also demonstrated leadership potential, management abilities and good communication skills.<ref name="Entry"/>

CID does not currently employ Commissioned Officers as Special Agents. Criminal investigations are conducted by field Special Agents and are typically supervised by senior Special Agents. After the 2021 reforms following the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee, CID began implementing a program for commissioned officers to become criminal investigators in an effort to fill the organization's leadership roles with agents rather than MP's.<ref name=stripes /><ref name=cidFailings />

Civilian Special Agents are 1811 federal criminal investigators and sworn federal agents. These agents have both military authority to enforce violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and federal statutory authority (Title 10 U.S.C. Section 7377) to enforce all federal laws anywhere in the United States. After the 2021 reforms following the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee, CID began to increase its numbers of civilian special agents when compared to military special agents, intended to increase CID's investigative experience and help the command build better partnerships with local and regional law enforcement, as military special agents can be moved between posts after a few years of service, severing all professional contact between the different law enforcement agencies.<ref name=stripes /><ref name=cidFailings />

All new CID special agents are now trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, GA. First attending the Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) along with their fellow 1811 partners from participating federal agencies and then a 2 month CID specific training course to familiarize themselves with agency policy and procedure.

Military Special Agent candidates initially receive training at the US Army Military Police School (USAMPS) at [[Fort Leonard Wood (military base)|Fort Leonard Wood]] where they attend the Apprentice CID Special Agent course.<ref name="Training">((cite web|url=http://www.cid.army.mil/agent_training.html|title=Special Agent Training|publisher=USACIDC|access-date=3 August 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090729033833/http://www.cid.army.mil/agent_training.html|archive-date=29 July 2009))</ref><ref name="B-701">((cite web|url=http://www.wood.army.mil/usamps/14thMPBde/701stMPBn/Bcompany/Bravo_Company_Functional_Courses.htm|title=Bravo Company 701st MP BN|publisher=USAMPS|access-date=3 August 2009))((dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=SheriffIsInTown |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> Later, agents may return to USAMPS to attend specialized training in Advanced Crime Scenes, Sexual Assault Investigations, Child Abuse Prevention and Investigative Techniques, Protective Service Training as well as other subjects.<ref name="Training"/><ref name="B-701"/>

==Mission==
[[File:US Army CID agents at crime scene.jpg|thumb|250px|CID at a [[crime scene]]]]
The primary mission of the CID, according to the organization's website,<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.cid.army.mil/mission.html |title=Cid.army.mil |publisher=Cid.army.mil |access-date=21 May 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110521114217/http://www.cid.army.mil/mission.html |archive-date=21 May 2011))</ref> is to:

*Investigate serious felony level crime (murder, rape, kidnapping, child abuse, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, etc.)
*Conduct sensitive and/or serious investigations
*Collect, analyze and disseminate criminal intelligence
*Conduct protective service operations
*Provide forensic laboratory support
*Maintain Army criminal records

Additionally, CID may perform the following special missions:
*Perform logistical security, from manufacturers to soldiers on the battlefield
*Develop criminal intelligence to develop countermeasures to combat subversive activities on the battlefield
*Criminal investigations to include war crimes and in some cases crimes against coalition forces and host nation personnel
*Protective service operations for key personnel on and off the battlefield

==Uniform==
CID Special Agents do not wear uniforms for anything other than official military training.  For official photographs, and certain duty assignments, they wear the uniforms, rank and insignia of any other soldier of their respective ranks. The design of the [[shoulder sleeve insignia]] has the central star and the lines of latitude and longitude suggesting a globe. Together with the arrowheads, they mark the points of a compass, symbolizing the basic worldwide mission of the command: To perform and exercise centralized command authority, direction and control of Army criminal investigation activities worldwide. Red, white, and blue are the national colors. The CID [[distinctive unit insignia]] has a central star symbolizing centralized command. The grid lines allude to the latitude lines of the globe, thus referring to the worldwide activities of the organization. The grid lines also suggest a stylized web, with eight sides representing the original eight geographical regions of the command. The web, a symbol of criminal apprehension, is the result of methodical construction alluding to the scientific methods of criminal investigations. The outer points of the star further symbolize far-reaching authority. Red, white, and blue, are the national colors and gold is symbolic of achievement.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.cid.army.mil/faqs.html#faq25 |title=Cid.army.mil |publisher=Cid.army.mil |date=17 September 1971 |access-date=21 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110529033117/http://www.cid.army.mil/faqs.html#faq25 |archive-date=29 May 2011))</ref>

As criminal investigators, CID Special Agents typically dress in civilian clothing which range from professional suits, business/casual attire, or comfortable clothing when appropriate for their daily investigative responsibilities. Due to the nature of their work, undercover assignments dictate further variations of attire to support specific undercover mission requirements.

When deployed to certain combat environments, and during other special times and circumstances, CID agents wear [[Army Combat Uniform]]s, replacing rank insignia with subdued versions of officer "U.S." collar brass and sometimes wearing "CID" [[brassard]]s on their upper left arms.

==Firearms==
Most CID Special Agents carry an alternate duty weapon, which can be a variety of pistols chambered in 9 mm, .40 caliber, or .45 caliber.  CID Special Agents are issued the 9mm [[Sig Sauer P320]] sidearm, designated "[[SIG Sauer M18|M18]]". The [[SIG Sauer P226|Sig Sauer P228]] designated "M11" is no longer issued. Agents are also issued the [[M4A1 Carbine]] or shortened version, [[Close Quarters Battle Receiver|MK18]], for protection missions and routine carry during enforcement related duties. <ref name="Miklos">((cite web |url=http://www.wood.army.mil/MPBULLETIN/pdfs/April%2006/Miklos.pdf |title=History in the Making |last=Miklos |first=Timothy |date=April 2006 |publisher=US Army MP Bulletin |access-date=5 July 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090324214834/http://www.wood.army.mil/MPBULLETIN/pdfs/April%2006/Miklos.pdf |archive-date=24 March 2009))</ref><ref name="TOE">((cite web |url=https://fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/19483L000.htm |title=Military Police Detachment (CID) TOE |publisher=U.S. Army |access-date=5 July 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224233401/http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/19483L000.htm |archive-date=24 December 2008))</ref>
