The United States Army Security Agency (ASA) was a specialized branch of the U.S. Army that operated from 1945 until 1976, created in the aftermath of World War II to consolidate the Army’s signals intelligence (SIGINT) and communications security efforts. Its origins can be traced to wartime cryptologic operations conducted by the Signals Intelligence Service, which had played a decisive role in breaking Japanese codes.
