The Army Map Service (AMS) was the military cartographic agency of the United States Department of Defense from 1941 to 1968, subordinated to the United States Army Corps of Engineers. On September 1, 1968, the AMS was redesignated the U.S. Army Topographic Command (USATC) and continued as an independent organization until January 1, 1972, when it was merged into the new Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) and redesignated as the DMA Topographic Center (DMATC). On October 1, 1996, DMA was folded into the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), which was redesignated as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in 2003.

dbo:abstract
  • The Army Map Service (AMS) was the military cartographic agency of the United States Department of Defense from 1941 to 1968, subordinated to the United States Army Corps of Engineers. On September 1, 1968, the AMS was redesignated the U.S. Army Topographic Command (USATC) and continued as an independent organization until January 1, 1972, when it was merged into the new Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) and redesignated as the DMA Topographic Center (DMATC). On October 1, 1996, DMA was folded into the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), which was redesignated as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in 2003. The major task of the Army Map Service was the compilation, publication and distribution of military topographic maps and related products required by the Armed Forces of the United States. The AMS was also involved in the preparation of extraterrestrial maps of satellite and planetary bodies; the preparation of national intelligence studies; the establishment of world geodetic control networks by both satellite and conventional triangulation methods; and the logistic military planning of Corps of Engineer items. Another major responsibility of the AMS was to maintain the largest geodetic and topographic data libraries for the Department of Defense. (en)

Pada 1 September 1968, AMS diubah namanya menjadi U.S. Army Topographic Command (USATC) dan tetap beroperasi sebagai organisasi independen hingga 1 Januari 1972, kemudian digabung menjadi Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), setelah diresmikan ulang maka namanya menjadi DMA Topographic Center (DMATC). Pada 1 Oktober 1996, DMA dilebur menjadi National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), yang didesain ulang menjadi National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) tahun 2003. Tugas utama dari AMS adalah membuat kompilasi, publikasi dan distribusi peta topografi militer serta produk terkait yang dibutuhkan oleh Angkatan Bersenjata Amerika Serikat. AMS juga terlibat dalam persiapan pembuatan peta luar angkasa dari satelit dan planet, menyiapkan kajian intelijen nasional, pembentukan jaringan kendali geodetik dunia baik dengan metode satelit maupun metode triangulasi konvensional dan perencanaan militer logistik barang-barang Korps Insinyur. Tanggung jawab utama AMS lainnya adalah memelihara datum geodetik terbesar dan perpustakaan data topografi bagi Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat. Sejak mulai beroperasi dalam Perang Vietnam, terhitung hingga Desember 1966, Army Map Service telah mencetak dan mengirim lebih dari 200 juta peta. (in)
