In the interests of efficiency, and to prevent overlapping with other agencies, activities of CIC were limited to: surveillance of subversive activities, individuals, or ideological movements, national or foreign, that had an adverse effect on the purposes and objectives of the occupa*tion; and to intensify security surveillance under the general intent of counter espionage. This clarification of the mission eliminated an unaccountable number of crim*inal investigations and other irregularities, not of a counterintelligence nature, with which CIC had found itself involved. While the basic plan of having a CIC unit in each prefecture had remained constant, administrative control of such units was maintained at Corps level. When I and IX Corps were located in Kyoto and Sendai, CIC had its regional headquarters in the same cities.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Maj. Gen. John Singlaub, ousted
from his South Korean post in a personal showdown with
President Carter last week, got a plum reassignment in
Atlanta yesterday as chief of staff of the biggest American army command in the world.
Singlaub, 55, was named chief of staff of the U.S. Army
Forces Command, which stretches over 10,000 miles and
includes 296,000 active personnel.
As chief of the staff headquarters, not a command post,
Singlaub will be outranked by the commanding general and some half-dozen other senior officers. A Pentagon spokesman described the transfer as "lateral."
Gen. Bernard W. Rogers, Army chief of staff, announced
that Singlaub will assume the command at Ft. McPherson in Atlanta effective June 27.
Singlaub, who served in three wars and holds numerous
military decorations, was removed from his job as third ranking Army officer in South Korea for saying publicly that
withdrawal of U.S. ground troops there would lead to another Korean war.
Carter— who plans to withdraw the troops and had made
his policy clear to the military — reacted swiftly and with
anger when he saw Singlaub's comments headlined in a
Washington Post story. He summoned the general to
Washington May 21 for a personal meeting, and Singlaub
emerged without his Korean command.
It was the first time Pentagon officials could recall a
President personally recalling and removing a field commander since Harry Truman removed Gen. Douglas
MacArthur as supreme commander of Korean war battle
troops in 1951.
And because of the dramatic style Carter used, there was
expectation the two-star general would be relegated to an
Army boondocks post on reassignment. But that was not the case. His new command stretches 10,000 miles from Guam through the U.S. trust territories of the Pacific across the continental United States to Puerto Rico and down to Panama....Singlaub replaces Maj. Gen. John Henion, whose appointment as commanding general of the IX Corps in Japan was announced in April.
Carter said in his Thursday news conference he had not
"fired" or "punished" Singlaub but felt the general could not function effectively in Seoul with the Koreans knowing his views on the planned American troop withdrawal.
Carter said he still plans lo withdraw the 33,000 U.S.
combat troops from South Korea over the next five years,
believing the Seoul government will be able lo defend ilself
by then with support from American air and sea forces if
necessary.
