The '''United States Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division'''<ref name=CID_History /><ref name=CID_Command /> ('''CID'''), previously known as the '''United States Army Criminal Investigation Command''' ('''USACIDC'''), is the primary federal law enforcement agency of the [[United States Department of the Army]]. Its primary function is to investigate [[felony]] crimes and serious violations of [[Uniform Code of Military Justice|military law]] and the United States Code within the [[US Army]]. The division is an independent federal law enforcement agency with investigative autonomy; CID [[special agents]], both military and civilian, report through the CID [[chain of command]] to the CID Director, who reports directly to the [[United States Under Secretary of the Army|Under Secretary of the Army]] and the [[United States Secretary of the Army|Secretary of the Army]]. Unlike their counterparts at [[Department of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations|OSI]] and [[Naval Criminal Investigative Service|NCIS]], Army CID does not have primary counterintelligence responsibilities.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.specialagents.org/army-cid | title=Army CID | access-date=18 October 2022 | archive-date=6 December 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206074111/https://www.specialagents.org/army-cid | url-status=live }}</ref>
