MAD: Germany

The Military Counterintelligence Service (Militärischer Abschirmdienst; MAD) is one of the three federal intelligence agencies that is responsible for military counterintelligence. MAD works closely to the Bundesnachrichtendienst (Federal Intelligence Service, BND), which is the foreign intelligence agency, and the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, BfV) which is the domestic civilian intelligence agency. MAD headquarters are located in Cologne, but also have twelve groups throughout Germany. 

In 1983 MAD instigated an internal surveillance operation on the four-star general Günter Kießling. The general was working with NATO (Commander of NATO land forces and Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe). The security risk was based on dubious allegations of homosexuality.
