missed the 41st ai ball in 2019? ATTEND THE 42d IN 2022!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO DONATE - - CLICK ON DONATE LINK (TO THE RIGHT) AND DONATE ANYTIME!

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. To make this a very special event and reduce the cost for individual soldiers and their guests, MICA Potomac requests that donations be considered in the following areas (A thru E below). Since MICA POTOMAC is a 100% non-profit, volunteer, charitable 501(c)(3) organization (tax ID # 74-2477077), any additional donation above the cost of an entire table for 10 is 100% tax deductible.

The Potomac Chapter of the Army’s Military Intelligence Corps Association (MICA) seeks your support for a wide range of charitable activities.

The 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 support and morale welfare organizations with annual charitable donations. As the largest MICA chapter, we do this by hosting a series of chapter-sponsored events where we bring together the Army’s C4ISR leadership, senior government executives, and industry partners for matters of mutual interest. We could not host these events or support these military charities without the commitment and generosity of our friends in industry - the many defense-based companies that provide invaluable professional services across a diverse mission spectrum to advance the Army’s dynamic and global intelligence mission. Our consistent sponsors and donors include large system integrators such as BAE Systems, Booz-Allen-Hamilton, Inc., CACI International, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Leidos, Accenture, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and a host of small businesses that routinely "give back” to the government agencies they support.

Donations are the key to success and on average, each year MICA Potomac raises $$20-25,000 to support various soldier-based academic and wounded-warrior-based rehabilitative programs. To enable our continuing charity efforts, we kindly encourage and cordially invite you to join these titans of industry by contributing any amount you believe appropriate. Based on historical contributions, we suggest large business donations average in the $1000-$3000 range with small business contributions falling in the $500-$1500 range. But again, please feel free to contribute any amount within your comfort level. Your tax-deductible donations will support the following programs:

MICA National Scholarship Fund: Donations provide financial support to enlisted soldiers and their families pursuing undergraduate-level college courses. Scholarship funds can be used for attendance (tuition, books and classroom fees) at any regionally accredited college, university, state approved vocational school or technical institution. Potomac Chapter has been donating to this fund since 1999.

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF): This nation-wide program is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings. Your contributions help the two PHWFF chapters in the National Capital Region (Fort Belvoir and Quantico) and eleven other chapters located throughout Virginia.

Fort Belvoir Wounded Warrior Golf Program: This program is part of the Links to Freedom Golf Foundation which is dedicated to restoring a sense of normalcy to our wounded warriors, disabled veterans, their families, and caregivers through rehabilitative and adaptive golf programs at military and civilian golf courses nationwide. The primary focus is the physical, mental, social, and emotional needs of every participant while building a strong fellowship between participants and the greater golf community. Your contribution supports local soldiers and families right here in our own back yard at Fort Belvoir.

Veterans Fishing Adventure, Inc.: This is a locally based 501(c)(3) founded by a USMC veteran and his daughter in order to provide fishing and boating adventures on the Potomac River in Fairfax, VA, and the Occoquan River in Lorton, VA, to veterans and their families. The group runs a unique and specially configured boat that was built to accommodate wheelchair-bound veterans. First priority goes to those personnel under Hospice care and with mobility issues. All services are free and the organization is run through 100% volunteers and donations. Their goal is to have 20 boats in operation across the county in the next five years.

Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact MICA Potomac Vice President Deborah Beckworth: djazzb@yahoo.com or (703) 309-0199. Our Treasurer, Mr. Jeff Pendry, will work with you directly and provide tax contribution forms and receipts. He can be reached at: potomac.treasurer@micorps.org   or (360) 710-8158. Or email, call or text Barry Miner, MICA Potomac Secretary, at potomac.secretary@micorps.org. or 703-201-0412.

MICA Potomac Chapter sincerely thanks you for considering this request and supporting rehabilitation of our dedicated soldiers and defenders of freedom. “Always Out Front!”

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

MISSION FOCUSED SUPPORT

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.
