US Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory, located at the Gillem Enclave in Georgia, provides forensic laboratory services to Department of Defense investigative agencies and other Federal law enforcement agencies. USACIL is the only full service forensic laboratory in the DoD and trains special agents and investigators from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines in the Special Agent Laboratory Training Course and manages the USACIDC criminalistics and visual information programs. 

Historically, the USACIL system included a laboratory in North Africa, then Europe (1943-96), in Japan (1948-93) and in the United States (1945-Present). With one remaining laboratory the USACIL now provides worldwide forensics support from its current location since 1983, at the Gillem Enclave, formerly known as Fort Gillem, Georgia. The laboratory provides state of the art forensic examinations in the following disciplines: Drug Chemistry, Trace Evidence, Serology/DNA, Latent Prints, Forensic Documents, Digital Evidence and Firearms & Toolmarks.
