Q asks -
Who is the Commander and Chief of the military?
Under what article can the President impose MI take over investigations for the 3 letter agencies? What conditions must present itself? Why is this so VERY important? Who surrounds POTUS? They lost this very important power _ the one area of the govt not corrupt and directly serves POTUS.
+++++
ANSWER - when federal troops are expected to be deployed. This would mean that at this point, MI is fully all over the black hats and would serve as an alternative to the three letter agencies and will help gain control of those agencies.
Background and sauce:
Military Intelligence domestic spying on civilians ramped up in the anti-war late 60's.
In the late 60's early 70's there was a public scandal that limited the military's intelligence activities.
But, it slowly started ramping up again due to riots in the 70s.
1966 PLAN STEEP HILL called for military intelligence to kick in once Federal Troops were in the field.
Replaced eventually b GARDEN PLOT, PUNCH BLOCK AND LANTERN SPIKE which allowed the military to gather in telligence when there was the possibility of troops being fielded.

Today -
Northern Command, responsible for the Army’s homeland security operations, has 290 intelligence analysts poring over data related to potential domestic security threats. More ominous is the Defense Department’s Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA) unit, a top-secret group ostensibly meant to coordinate foreign intelligence efforts, which, in August 2008, was rolled into the Defense Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Center.

CIFA is becoming the superpower of data mining within the U.S. national security community. Its “operational and analytical records” include “reports of investigation, collection reports, statements of individuals, affidavits, correspondence, and other documentation pertaining to investigative or analytical efforts” by the DOD and other U.S. government agencies to identify terrorist and other threats. Since March 2004, CIFA has awarded at least $33 million in contracts to corporate giants Lockheed Martin, Unisys Corporation, Computer Sciences Corporation and Northrop Grumman to develop databases that comb through classified and unclassified government data, commercial information and Internet chatter to help sniff out terrorists, saboteurs and spies.
