The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) is an independent civilian agency established in 1982 as an amendment to the Inspector General Act of 1978. Its mission is to serve as an independent and objective office within the Department of Defense, conducting audits, evaluations, and investigations of DoD programs and operations to promote efficiency, prevent fraud and abuse, and keep Congressional and executive leadership informed of problems. The DoD OIG has been directly involved in UAP/UFO investigations, most notably conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the DoD's actions regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), which found that the DoD lacked an overarching UAP policy and recommended coordinated policy development across military branches.
