The MICA Potomac Chapter has committed itself to the greater National Capital Region (NCR) military community by supporting Veterans activities, multiple Wounded Warriors Programs and active duty family support organizations with annual charitable donations. We do this through a series of chapter-sponsored events where we bring together the Army’s Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) leadership, senior government executives, and our industry partners for matters of mutual interest. In 2019 we hosted our highly successful 20th Anniversary “LTG Tom Weinstein Charity Golf Classic” and we finished our second event, the 41st Army Intelligence Ball 2019. We could not support MICA charities or generate academic scholarships without your commitment and generosity. (We again held our 21st Charity Golf Classic, post-COVID-19 crisis, 1 OCTOBER 2021. (Another successful and fun tournament!)) See the pictures we posted! We plan to sponsor another AI BALL (the 42nd AI BALL) on Sep 17th 2022. The AI Balls planned for 2020 and then 2021 were cancelled but we now have a date for the 42d AI Ball in 2022 (SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17!TH!!). With your help we can do all this!
THE BELOW INFORMATION WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE NEED DONATION SUPPORT FOR THE NEXT AI BALL (SEP 17TH 2022). WE SINCERELY (AND SADLY) REGRET THAT THE AI BALLS FOR 2020 AND 2021 HAD TO BE CANCELLED. AFTER A HIATUS OF A FEW YEARS, WE WERE JUST RESTARTING THE TRADITION IN 2019. BUT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE AND SAFETY OF OUR SOLDIERS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND GENEROUS DONORS IS TANTAMOUNT AND WE COULD TAKE NO RISKS WITH COVID-19 HEALTH CHALLENGES. WE HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND AND THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT THE NEXT (42D) AI BALL ON SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2022. PLEASE PLAN YOUR BUDGETS ACCORDINGLY SO WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT TO THESE CHARITY EFFORTS. COME BACK TO THIS WEB SITE FOR UPDATES!
(PLEASE PLAN ON AND CONSIDER SUPPORT TO THE 42D AI BALL ON SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2022. Below are the categories used for 2019, and we are noting them here for information only for your planning and budgeting purposes; all these categories and prices are subject to change for 2022 . . . but please start to budget for attending and contributing to the 42d AI Ball 2022 using these basic categories and numbers.

A PROUD LINEAGE
MISSION FOCUSED SUPPORT
A PROUD LINEAGE
On July 1, 2021, the Military Intelligence (MI) Branch turned fifty nine years old. When it was established in 1962, it was the Army’s first new branch since the Transportation Corps had been formed twenty years earlier. Today, it remains one of the youngest of the Army’s basic branches. Yet, while the MI Branch is a relatively recent addition, intelligence operations and functions in the Army stretch back to the Revolutionary Period. A good history of Army Intelligence was done by Michael E. Bigelow, Command Historian, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command. You can get more on this history at: https://fas.org/irp/agency/army/short.pdf
MISSION FOCUSED SUPPORT
A PROUD LINEAGE
WE GO WHERE THE BATTLES ARE, WHERE WE ARE NEEDED!
IT IS OUR DUTY, AND WE HONOR THAT DUTY AS WE GO ABOUT OUR MISSIONS,
ALL THE WHILE WE PRAY WE PROVIDE A SAFE FUTURE FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS,
AND . . .
WE ALWAYS REMEMBER AND THANK THOSE WHO SERVED BEFORE US WITH DISTINCTION AND VALOR.

MISSION FOCUSED SUPPORT
The purpose of intelligence is to support commanders and staffs in gaining situational understanding of threats, terrain, weather, and civil considerations. Intelligence is both a process and a function that enables the Army to conduct unified land operations, and to support joint operations. Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of available information concerning the operational environment, foreign nations, and enemy/hostile forces. Intelligence is inherently joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational (JIIM) and leverages the intelligence community. The Army focuses its intelligence effort through the intelligence warfighting function. The MI Corps has been doing these missions since its inception, always with distinction.
