Disambiguation: United States Army intelligence agency. NOT to be confused with the modern Army Counterintelligence Command (ACIC, activated 2021), which is the successor organization. The original CIC ceased independent operations in 1961.

The Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) was a World War II and early Cold War intelligence agency within the United States Army, established January 1, 1942, by renaming the Corps of Intelligence Police. Consisting of approximately 543 officers and 4,431 specially trained non-commissioned agents, the CIC's mission was to detect treason, sedition, espionage, sabotage, and subversive activity directed against the Army. The organization was led by Garland H. Williams and operated until 1961, when it was rolled into the Army's new Military Intelligence Branch. The CIC played a historically significant—though often undocumented—role in early UAP investigations, including the 1947 Roswell incident, where Captain Sheridan D. Cavitt, a CIC special agent in charge, participated in recovery operations.

O Corps of Counter Intelligence (CIC) foi uma agência de inteligência militar dos EUA durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e o início da Guerra Fria, estabelecido em 1º de janeiro de 1942, através da renomeação do Corps of Intelligence Police. Composto por aproximadamente 543 oficiais e 4.431 agentes especialmente treinados, a missão do CIC era detectar traição, sedição, espionagem, sabotagem e atividades subversivas dirigidas contra o Exército. A organização foi liderada por Garland H. Williams e operou até 1961, quando foi incorporada ao novo ramo de Inteligência Militar do Exército. O CIC desempenhou um papel historicamente significativo — embora frequentemente não documentado — em investigações iniciais de fenômenos aéreos anômalos (UAP), incluindo o incidente de Roswell em 1947, onde o Capitão Sheridan D. Cavitt, um agente especial encarregado do CIC, participou das operações de recuperação.
