United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) Employee Handbook
On 1 January 1977, the activation of Headquarters, United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) took place at historic Arlington Hall Station in Arlington, Virginia. INSCOM combined three major building blocks: the U.S. Army Security Agency (communications intelligence and communications security), the U.S. Army Intelligence Agency (counterintelligence and human intelligence), and various local production elements assigned to the Army Chief of Staff for Intelligence. INSCOM began as a world-wide intelligence command composed of multidiscipline intelligence groups located in four diff erent theaters, eight fi eld stations circling the globe, a large intelligence production center located in the Washington, DC area, and a variety of single-discipline units within CONUS. INSCOM provided the Army with a unique capability to conduct multidiscipline intelligence and security operations as well as to provide electronic warfare at echelons above corps.
