Can anyone give me some advice (besides telling me where to get off *smile*)?

 

Let's say I have a reference to a document like this:

 

MISSION & EMPLOYMENT OF 316TH INTELLIGENCE CORPS DETACHMENT
Record Number: 197-10002-10218

 

If I go this site:

https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/release

Is there any way to search that site by the record number?

If I go to the NARA site here:

https://nara.gov/cgi-bin/starfinder.exe/0?path=jfksnew.txt&id=demo&pass=&OK=OK

and run that record number through the search engine, all I get is the cover sheet.

 

Here's the full record in the MFF database explorer:

1. MISSION & EMPLOYMENT OF 316TH INTELLIGENCE CORPS DETACHMENT

https://www.maryferrell.org/php/jfkdb.php?field=recordseries&value=NARA+RG319%3A+ACSI+G2%2C+COUNTERINTELLIGENCE+ORGANIZATIONS is a list of all the records related... but no links yet to the doc

https://www.archives.gov/research/catalog   but not sure if that's the entire site

David,

 

Thanks.

I knew about the second site you referenced. I'm just not sure how you get from those records to the actual documents themselves. It's possible they haven't been scanned yet, and you have to go to the National Archives to get them.

 

Thanks for the first reference. I read through the Regulations of the CIC. I wonder how the Army kept all these intelligence groups straight - - the Army Security Agency, the Counterintelligence Corps, the INTC's... The Assistant Chief of Staff G2 must have been a very busy guy - everything seemed to flow through him.

 

This part of the CIC's Regulations made me shudder... I was looking at "disaffection". Talk about thought police...
