Its the agency of Marine Corps Intelligence Activity. Each military branch has its own. The US actually has 17 different int. agencies.

Used to have a lot more too, but most were just folded into existing ones.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The others are the Office of Naval Intelligence, 25th Air Force, Intelligence and Security Command (Army), and Coast Guard Intelligence
