Disambiguation: AFOIN (likely 'Air Force Office of Intelligence') is not documented as a distinct public agency name in current USAF organizational structures. May refer to the historical Air Force Directorate of Intelligence (AF/DI) at USAF Headquarters. Not to be confused with AFISRA (Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency), AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations), or contemporary AF/A2 (Senior Intelligence Officer position).

AFOIN appears to be a historical designation for the Air Force Directorate of Intelligence (AF/DI) at USAF Headquarters. The Air Force Security Group, established July 1, 1948, took over functions previously performed by the Directorate of Intelligence, HQ USAF, suggesting the directorate existed at least from the inception of independent Air Force intelligence operations. The USAF's historical Directorate of Intelligence oversaw early classified investigations into aerial phenomena, including Project BLUE BOOK (1952-1969), the longest-running official UFO investigation. No comprehensive public documentation of AFOIN as a distinct organizational entity is available in open sources, suggesting it may be a colloquial or internal designation, a predecessor organization designation, or an organization referenced primarily in classified or archived materials.

AFOIN parece ser uma designação histórica da Diretoria de Inteligência da Força Aérea (AF/DI) na Sede da USAF. O Air Force Security Group, estabelecido em 1º de julho de 1948, assumiu funções previamente desempenhadas pela Diretoria de Inteligência da USAF, sugerindo que a diretoria existia pelo menos desde o início das operações de inteligência da Força Aérea independente. A Diretoria Histórica de Inteligência da USAF supervisionou as investigações classificadas iniciais sobre fenômenos aéreos, incluindo o Projeto BLUE BOOK (1952-1969), a investigação oficial mais longa de UFOs. Nenhuma documentação pública abrangente sobre AFOIN como entidade organizacional distinta está disponível em fontes abertas, sugerindo que pode ser uma designação coloquial ou interna, uma designação de organização antecessora, ou uma organização referenciada principalmente em materiais classificados ou arquivados.
