Disambiguation: Military intelligence division of the United States War Department General Staff. Not to be confused with the later Military Intelligence Service (MIS, established 1942) or other modern intelligence agencies like the CIA. Also distinct from Military Intelligence Corps, a branch of the Army established later.

The Army Intelligence Division (G-2) was the military intelligence branch of the United States Army and Department of War, formally established on May 3, 1917, as the Military Intelligence Section under the leadership of Major Ralph Van Deman. It underwent organizational restructuring during World War I, becoming the Military Intelligence Branch in February 1918 and the Military Intelligence Division in June 1918. The division grew from three initial branches to 12 functional offices by war's end, with over 1,400 military and civilian personnel, overseeing intelligence collection, counterespionage, cryptography, translation, censorship, and fraud investigation. Operating until March 1942, it established the first permanent peacetime intelligence organization within the U.S. military and secured intelligence as an equal division on the War Department's General Staff. The organization was succeeded by the Military Intelligence Service in 1942, which evolved into the modern Military Intelligence Corps. No documented involvement in UAP/UFO investigations has been identified in available historical records.

A Divisão de Inteligência do Exército (G-2) foi o ramo de inteligência militar do Exército dos Estados Unidos e do Departamento de Guerra, formalmente estabelecido em 3 de maio de 1917, como a Seção de Inteligência Militar sob a liderança do Major Ralph Van Deman. Passou por reestruturação organizacional durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, tornando-se o Ramo de Inteligência Militar em fevereiro de 1918 e a Divisão de Inteligência Militar em junho de 1918. A divisão cresceu de três ramos iniciais para 12 escritórios funcionais no final da guerra, com mais de 1.400 pessoal militar e civil, supervisionando coleta de inteligência, contraespionagem, criptografia, tradução, censura e investigação de fraude. Operando até março de 1942, estabeleceu a primeira organização de inteligência permanente em tempos de paz dentro do militar norte-americano e garantiu a inteligência como uma divisão igual no Estado-Maior de Guerra. A organização foi sucedida pelo Serviço de Inteligência Militar em 1942, que evoluiu para o moderno Corpo de Inteligência Militar. Nenhum envolvimento documentado em investigações de OVNIs/UAPs foi identificado nos registros históricos disponíveis.
