The 902d MI Group has a long and proud history in the U.S. Army. The unit was constituted as the 902d Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) Detachment and activated on Nov. 23, 1944, at Hollandia, New Guinea. While the unit arrived too late to participate in the capture of New Guinea, the detachment would see combat as part of Douglas MacArthur’s Philippine invasion force. It was one of 29 CIC Detachments to serve in the Pacific theater.
