April 5, 1929, the U.S. Secretary of War transferred cryptologic functions from the Military Intelligence Division to the Signal Corps – creating the Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) with William F. Friedman as its head.
William F. Friedman:
Wolfe Frederick Friedman was born on 24 September 1891 in Kishinev, then part of imperial Russia, now Chisinau, capital of Moldova. His father, an interpreter for the Czar’s postal service, emigrated to the United States the following year to escape increasing anti-Semitic regulations; the family joined him in Pittsburgh in 1893. Three years after that, when the elder Friedman became a U.S. citizen, Wolfe’s name was changed to William.

And a new branch is born, almost like the space force, and the split of the Army Air corps.
