About the Special Inspector General for OAR

The Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended (5 U.S.C. Section 419) established the Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) framework for oversight of overseas contingency operations. The Lead IG agencies are the Offices of Inspector General (OIG) of the DoW, State Department, and USAID.

 On August 18, 2023, the DoW designated OAR as an overseas contingency operation, triggering Section 419. The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency selected the DoW IG to be the Lead IG for OAR, effective October 18, 2023. The DoW IG appointed the State IG as the Associate IG for OAR.
Section 1250B of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024 re-designated the Lead IG for OAR as the Special Inspector General for OAR. The Special IG agencies conduct oversight of the Ukraine response individually under their own authorities and collaboratively, to carry out the following whole-of-government responsibilities:

  • Submitting to Congress, on a quarterly basis, a report on the contingency operation and making that report available to the public no later than 45 days afer the end of each fiscal year quarter.
  • Developing a joint strategic plan to conduct comprehensive oversight of the operation.
  • Ensuring independent and effective oversight of programs and operations of the U.S. Government in support of the operation through joint or individual audits, inspections, investigations, and evaluations.
