Purpose

This pamphlet is the counterintelligence (CI) reference for CI investigative procedures and processes based on U.S. law, Department of the Army (DA) policy, Army Counterintelligence Coordinating Authority (ACICA) policy, and Army Intelligence Center of Excellence doctrine. 

Counterintelligence investigative principles

Army counterintelligence (ACI) special agents (SAs) are responsible for investigating national security crimes and related incidents that affect Army equities. CI investigations are sensitive and legally complex. Understanding CI investigative principles ensures that ACI investigations be conducted in a way that protects the civil liberties of all persons associated with an ACI investigation, resolves identified allegations, and protects the prosecutorial integrity of the investigation.

Counterintelligence investigative mission and authorities

All SAs assigned to a unit or organization with an investigative mission require a thorough understanding of the ACI investigative mission, techniques, procedures, and legal authorities for conducting ACI investigations. This ensures ACI investigations are conducted in a lawful manner and preserves the prosecutorial integrity of ACI investigations.
