About Air Force OSI

Air Force Office of Special Investigations

Established August 1, 1948, the OSI has served as the primary investigative service for the Department of the Air Force. Operating under the purview of the Inspector General within the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, OSI is dedicated to delivering professional investigative services to commanders across all Department of the Air Force activities. Air Force OSI has a focus on criminal investigations and counterintelligence services.

The United States Space Force (USSF) is a separate military branch established in December 2019, distinct from the United States Air Force (USAF). However, according to the USAF OSI website, the Air Force OSI also handles investigations for the U.S. Space Force. The Space Force will receive criminal investigative and counterintelligence support from the Office of Special Investigations.

OSI Mission

The primary mission of Air Force OSI is to conduct thorough and impartial investigations into various matters within the Air Force and Space Force. These investigations are essential for upholding military discipline, ensuring compliance with regulations, and addressing any criminal or misconduct issues that may arise.

OSI functions as a key Military Criminal Investigative Organization (MCIO), working in collaboration with other military investigative agencies to address criminal activities that impact the Air Force. As an MCIO, OSI is equipped with the authority to conduct criminal investigations and gather evidence in support of military justice proceedings.

OSI operates with jurisdiction over a wide range of matters within the Air Force and Space Force. This includes investigations into criminal offenses, security breaches, fraud, and other activities that may compromise the well-being of the service members and the mission. The organization operates both domestically and internationally, ensuring that investigations cover a broad spectrum of scenarios.

Common Reasons for OSI Investigations

OSI investigations can be initiated for various reasons, reflecting the diverse challenges faced by the Air Force and Space Force. Some common reasons for OSI investigations include:

  • Criminal Offenses: OSI may investigate allegations of criminal offenses within the Air Force, ranging from theft and assault to more complex crimes.
  • Security Breaches: Investigations may be triggered by breaches of security protocols or unauthorized access to classified information, addressing potential threats to national security and the effectiveness of Air Force or Space Force operations.
  • Fraud and Misconduct: OSI examines cases involving fraud, financial misconduct, or unethical behavior, aiming to maintain transparency, accountability, and ethical standards within the Air Force and Space Force.
  • Counterintelligence Matters: OSI is actively involved in counterintelligence services, investigating espionage, unauthorized disclosures, and other activities that pose a threat to the missions of the USAF and USSF and national security.
  • Sensitive Personnel Issues: Investigations may be conducted in response to sensitive personnel issues, such as allegations of harassment or discrimination.

Understanding these common reasons for OSI investigations is vital for individuals who may be subject to inquiries. It underscores the importance of legal representation to navigate the complexities of military law, protect one’s rights, and ensure a fair and just resolution to the investigation.
