        Arranged numerically (1-948,410) with some additional subseries and  bulky files located at the end of the series. The "ID" files, which succeeded  the wartime "regional files," relate for the most part to the postwar period;  ID numbers 1-205000 are most pertinent for the period June 1944-September  1945. Despite the indicated date period, a number of reports furnish intelligence  with effective dates as early as 1942. As with the regional files, the "ID" materials  constitute records originated by the Military Intelligence Service and its  subordinate organizations, together with intelligence data supplied by other U.S.  Army, Navy, and civilian organizations and by British and other Allied intelligence  agencies. Many individual reports in this series have been withdrawn or  transferred to other intelligence collections, usually indicated by a withdrawal  sheet.
