The Military Intelligence Division (MID) was a military intelligence branch of the United States Army, established in 1885. It was the first standing intelligence agency of the Army; the Union Army had had a Bureau of Military Information, but that had reported to the Commanding General for less than a year prior to being disbanded at the end of the Civil War. MID lasted until after World War II when it was reorganized, eventually becoming the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command.
