I’m not sure when NCIS came into existence, but I’m pretty sure there was no such thing when I was in. As I recall all investigations were done by Marine CID. Nobody seemed to have a problem with that.

In 1999, NCIS and the Marine Corps Criminal Investigative Division (CID) signed a memorandum of understanding calling for an integration of Marine Corps CID into NCIS, and in 2000, Congress granted NCIS civilian special agents authority to execute warrants and make arrests.
