NMIA HISTORY

NMIA was incorporated as an Army professional organization in February 1974 at SierraVista, Arizona. The first President was LTG Vernon Walters, who served as Deputy Directorof Central Intelligence and as U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany. Inaddition to LTG Walters, charter members included five other general officers and one U.S.Senator, as well as two officers who would become generals.

In 1976 the Association was restructured and broadened to include the other Services andNMIA executive offices moved to Washington, D.C. The move was deemed necessary asa means of banding all Service intelligence entities together in the aftermath of severeCongressional criticism following Watergate and Vietnam. Maj Gen George Keegan, USAF,and CAPT Dick Bates, USN, were nominated to the Advisory Council.

During the next decade Col Chuck Thomann, USA, served first as President and then asExecutive Director. He functioned as Editor of the American Intelligence Journal andhandled administration as well. During this period the Association was reincorporated inMaryland.

In 1985 the Association was reorganized to adapt to changes in the intelligence environmentand was reincorporated in Virginia. Changes were made in the programs offered, in thepublication of the Journal, and in the administration. The NMIA Military Intelligence AwardsProgram was initiated by Col Roy K. Jonkers (USAF, Ret.) during his tenure as Presidentof the NMIA Potomac Chapter in 1985. The program was subsequently adopted by thenational organization in 1986. Awards are now presented annually to deserving members ofthe Military Services, the Coast Guard, DIA, NSA, NGA, NRO, and DHS as means ofproviding a testimonial to professional excellence and exceptional dedication to duty andto country. A program to recognize members of the Reserve Components was establishedin 1998. NMIA has recently added recognition for the service of Human Intelligence andCounter Intelligence professionals.

With the new millennium NMIA is ready for new initiatives to improve its service to all whoserve or have served the defense intelligence and national security community and to bettereducate the public concerning the role and importance of military intelligence to the nation.

Colonel Thomann had a very long and most distinguished military career. Duringhis 33 years in the US Army, Chuck served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.Drafted at the end of 1944, he served in the Philippines. He volunteered to serve inthe occupation of Japan and spent nearly two years there. Thomann traveled toHiroshima four months after the bomb was dropped. Thomann deployed to Koreain 1950 and fought in the Battle of the Pusan Perimeter and was wounded severaltimes. In 1961, he was assigned to DIA in the Pentagon, and as a briefer in 1962 hekept the Cuban Missile Task Force apprised. In 1968, he was in charge of intelligencefor the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam, establishing pattern analysis. Chuckbecame Chief of Current Intelligence and Reports for General William Westmoreland.He served two tours in Vietnam. Later, he was chief of South Vietnamese operationsfor DIA. Chuck also served in the White House Situation Room regarding Vietnamin 1965. Colonel Thomann held a number of senior positions with Army Intelligence,including Chief of Counterintelligence. His last assignment was as Commander ofa Special Security Group at the Pentagon for the Army Assistant Chief of Staff forIntelligence (ACSI). Asked to be Executive Officer to the ACSI in 1977, Thomanndeclined saying, “I was worn out and decided to retire.” His numerous awardsinclude the Silver Star (for Vietnam), four Bronze Stars (one with V-device, for Korea),and the Purple Heart.

Following his retirement from the Army, Chuck began a decade-long stint as theExecutive Director and President of NMIA. On his own he expanded the numberof NMIA chapters greatly – there were 25 of them by May 1977. Significantly, hebrought the association from Fort Huachuca, Arizona in September 1979 to his ownresidence in Maryland. Another important milestone was reached when hepublished the first edition of NMIA’s flagship publication, the American IntelligenceJournal. He fashioned the logo for NMIA at that time with an eagle and the motto“Peace Through Vigilance,” a significant achievement for NMIA. During thisperiod, NMIA could have gone out of existence, but through his efforts, theassociation remained intact.

Chuck continued his contribution to the country by teaching college-level courseson the Civil War. Several of his ancestors fought in the Civil War on both sides. Hetaught American history in high school and at adult continuing education classes.Chuck taught a two-hour class on the history of Fort Meade. Since 1991, he taughtfive courses at Anne Arundel Community College. Chuck served on the MarylandState Board of Elections as well.

There are not enough words to describe Chuck Thomann’s contributions to NMIA.He carried NMIA on his back, alone, with great dedication of time, effort, intellect,and vision. We owe Chuck Thomann a huge debt of appreciation and gratitude.
