In the main, the CounterIntelligenceCorps was concerned with the security of the United States military installations and with the detection of possible subversive activity.
Duties which demanded the attention of the CounterIntelligenceCorps personnel were security control through censorship of the civilian press and radio, security liaison at airdromes, port security, and control of the affairs of eighty-nine German nationals.
In the conduct of these activities commendable work was done by CounterIntelligenceCorps personnel in the interrogation of German prisoners of war captured in or brought to Iceland.
CounterIntelligenceCorps detachments were assigned to their respective units and became an integral part of divisions, corps, armies, overseas administrative commands, theater headquarters, and of the A-2 Sections of the Air Force commands and installations.
TM 30-215, "CounterIntelligenceCorps," published 22 September 1943, limited the responsibility for procurement and assignment of officers and special agents to the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, War Department, and of agents and clerks to the Director of Intelligence in the Service Commands within the zone of the interior.
CounterIntelligenceCorps men were instructed to conceal their actual rank by using the term "agent" or "special agent." Concealment of rank in the zone of the interior was not too great a problem since agents worked in civilian clothes.
