Disambiguation: DACID is an acronym for 'Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division,' referring to the same organization as CID and USACIDC (established as a unified command in 1971). Not to be confused with other criminal investigation bodies within different military branches.
The Criminal Investigation Division (CID), officially known as the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC), is a federal law enforcement agency of the U.S. Department of the Army. Established as a major command on September 17, 1971, with headquarters at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, CID operates nearly 3,000–4,000 personnel worldwide, including approximately 900 special agents. The organization investigates serious felony crimes, war crimes, terrorism, cybercrime, and provides forensic support and protective services for senior Army and Department of Defense officials. CID conducts criminal investigations globally and turns findings over to appropriate commands for legal disposition, but operates independently from the Military Police chain of command. No specific UAP/UFO investigative mandate has been publicly identified for CID, though the organization is referenced in Department of Defense oversight evaluations regarding how military criminal investigative organizations handle UAP-related matters.
