Disambiguation: The AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) is the primary federal law enforcement and counterintelligence agency within the U.S. Air Force, distinct from other military intelligence branches and civilian law enforcement agencies.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI/OSI) is a federal law enforcement and counterintelligence agency founded August 1, 1948, by Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington, modeled after the FBI. It operates independently of the traditional military chain of command and reports directly to the Secretary of the Air Force, with headquarters directing over 2,000 special agents and 1,000 support personnel worldwide. AFOSI's mandate encompasses criminal investigation, counterintelligence operations, protective services, and national security threats to the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. The agency became notable in UAP/UFO research contexts particularly through special agent Richard Doty's involvement in UFO investigations and acknowledged disinformation campaigns during the late 1970s and 1980s, as documented in the 2013 film 'Mirage Men.'
