Department of Defense Office of Inspector General
government
The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG), founded in 1982, is a U.S. government oversight agency tasked with auditing, investigating, and reviewing DoD programs for efficiency, accountability, and compliance. In UAP/UFO contexts, it has conducted key evaluations, including a 2021 probe into DoD actions on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and a 2024 report criticizing the Pentagon's uncoordinated UAP tracking as a national security risk due to lacking overarching policy. It issued 11 recommendations for integrated procedures, which DoD accepted. Notable for enhancing transparency amid congressional scrutiny, the OIG remains active in UAP oversight as of 2024.
