In Memoriam:

United States Army Counterintelligence Special Agent Line-of-Duty Deaths

This section is dedicated to the Special Agents of United States Army Counterintelligence (ACI) who have paid the ultimate price in defending the country. Due to lost records pertaining to the original predecessor organizations of ACI: the Corps of Intelligence Police (CIP) and the Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC), this list only contains those line-of-duty deaths since the CIC ended in 1961. However, the service and sacrifice of CIP & CIC agents will still never be forgotten. If you see an inaccuracy on this page, please e-mail us at: info@acisaa.org and we will do our best to correct it immediately.
