The US Provost Marshall General, duties of the provost guard including prisoners and the Bureau of Military Information.   LBG Joe Mieczkowski

Two important roles for the provost guard were to assure that the enemy did not gain intelligence about the Federal army and that discipline in the ranks was not compromised. Thus, the provost marshal was responsible for any visitors coming into camp, including “unauthorized females”.  The critical Bureau of Military Information functioned under the command of the Provost Marshall as did responsibility for captured prisoners”.
