About Us
This Association consists of former and current members of the United States Army Security Agency, and its predecessor and descendant services. The NASAA is dedicated to preserving the history, memories, and friendships derived from serving in the Army Security Agency during the years of its existence 1945 - 1977. We watched and listened around the world and served in countless countries. We passed the flag to INSCOM in 1977. May they preserve our fine heritage and tradition of service. ASA and INSCOM soldiers are eligible for full membership in the NASAA.
The NASAA is a 501(c)(19) nonprofit corporation
Who we are...
In 1945, the need was recognized to create a force within the United States Army to support its intelligence needs beyond the scope of traditional methods. Thus, the United States Army Security Agency was formed.
"On January 1, 1977, the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) was organized at Arlington Hall Station, VA. The formation of INSCOM provided the Army with a single instrument to conduct multi-discipline intelligence and security operations and electronic warfare at the level above corps and to produce finished intelligence tailored to the Army's needs" Department of the Army General Orders DAGO 25-76
Our Objectives...
It shall be the mission of the National Army Security Agency Association to:
1. Further the fraternity of former members of the Army Security Agency and its predecessors and successors by providing a forum for old comrades-in-arms to find each other, and for new friendships to spring up.
2. To bring all available resources to bear which will assist other Army security Agency groups in fulfilling their mandates, including bringing together reunion groups and their former personnel.
3. Honor those of the Army Security Agency, its predecessors and successors, as well as those of other services who lost there lives in the "shadow war", who have made the supreme sacrifice for their country in whose name they so proudly yet surreptitiously served.
4. Above all, ensure that the name and the missions, both overt and covert, of the Army Security Agency and its predecessors and successors, are not forgotten, but rather are remembered in the recounting of the annals of latter 20th Century military and social history.

The National Army Security Agency Association (NASAA) is proud to sponsor an effort to have an ASA Memorial placed at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the men and women who were assigned or attached to the ASA and who worked tirelessly, behind the scenes, to provide intelligence that saved countless lives during the Korean War, Vietnam War and the Cold War. This memorial is also designed to honor the units and soldiers that were supported by the ASA. It is time!
Too little is known about the ASA and its accomplishments, but this monument finally acknowledges the service that earned ASA units 120 US decorations and 60 foreign citations during the Vietnam War alone.
Funds received will provide for the manufacture and placement at Arlington National Cemetery and to provide a reserve for perpetual care of the memorial.
