The Inspector General, formally the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG), is an independent federal oversight agency established in 1982 as an amendment to the Inspector General Act of 1978. It serves as the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense on matters of fraud, waste, and abuse within the Department of Defense. The DoD OIG conducts audits, investigations, and evaluations of DoD programs and operations, with authority to investigate, subpoena records, and report findings to Congress. Significantly, the DoD OIG has investigated UAP/UFO matters and issued reports concluding that the Pentagon lacks a coordinated, overarching UAP policy, creating potential national security risks.
