AFOSI is the DOD executive agent for both the Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory and the Defense Computer Investigations Training Program, which together comprise the Defense Cyber Crime Center.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI, or OSI ), is a Field Operating Agency ( FOA ) of the Department of the Air Force that provides professional investigative services to commanders throughout the United States Air Force.

* A June 27, 1950, movie of a " flying disk " over Louisville, Kentucky, taken by a Louisville Courier-Journal photographer, had the USAF Directors of counterintelligence ( AFOSI ) and intelligence discussing in memos how to best obtain the movie and interview the photographer without revealing Air Force interest.

AFOSI was founded August 1, 1948, at the suggestion of Congress to consolidate investigative activities in the Air Force.

While the regions serve the investigative needs of those aligned major commands, all AFOSI units and personnel remain independent of those commands, and their chains of command flow directly to AFOSI Headquarters.

A significant amount of AFOSI investigative resources are assigned to fraud ( or economic crime ) investigations.

AFOSI manages offensive and defensive activities to detect, counter and destroy the effectiveness of hostile intelligence services and terrorist groups that target the Air Force.

Dyess AFB is also home to several tenant units, including Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ) Detachment 222.

AFOSI identifies, investigates and neutralizes criminal, terrorist, and espionage threats to personnel and resources of the Air Force and Department of Defense using Special Agents.

Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington created AFOSI and patterned it after the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ).

He appointed Special Agent Joseph Carroll, an assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, as the first AFOSI commander and charged him with providing independent, unbiased and centrally directed investigations of criminal activity in the Air Force.

AFOSI uses fraud surveys to determine the existence, location and extent of fraud in Air Force operations or programs.

AFOSI special agents are expected to remain physical fit throughout their employment and must maintain Air Force physical fitness standards as defined by Air Force Instruction ( AFI ) 36-2905.

The following day, the U. S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ) at Kirtland AFB began an official inquiry, fearing the fireballs might be related to espionage and sabotage.

Despite the recommendation and the continuation of the green fireballs at a rate of about half a dozen a month, LaPaz and AFOSI oddly encountered both resistance and apathy from Air Force authorities responsible for setting up such a network.

The Secretary subsequently directed the Air Force's Inspector General to review individual U. S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ) cases and to investigate cadet complaints concerning the alleged mishandling of sexual assault cases.

Some of these schools consist of, but are not limited to: Tactical Automated Sensor System ( TASS ), Emergency Services Team ( EST ), Close Precision Engagement Course ( CPEC ), Advanced Designated Marksman ( ADM ), Phoenix Raven Course, Army Military Police Investigator Course ( MPI ), Army Air Assault School, Army Airborne school, Army Ranger School, Army Sniper School, Army Traffic Management and Collision Investigation Course, Army Anti-terrorism Evasive Driving Course Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ) Defensive Driving school and various Special Weapons And Tactics SWAT schools.

Lieutenant General Joseph Francis Carroll ( 19 March 1910 – 20 January 1991 ) was the founding director of the Defense Intelligence Agency ( DIA ), and founding director of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ).

AFOSI was to be notified if any personnel were to become aware of any other incidents.

As a result of this behavior, Pratt always believed that the Majestic-12 papers were a hoax, either perpetrated personally by Moore or perhaps by AFOSI, with Doty using Moore as a willing target.

Furthermore, the film mailed to Shandera with the MJ-12 documents was postmarked " Albuquerque ," raising the obvious suspicion that the MJ-12 documents were more bogus documents arising from Doty and AFOSI in Albuquerque.

Also, AFOSI anti-terrorism teams are trained here.

DCIS, USACIDC, Army Counterintelligence, NCIS, and AFOSI special agents not only investigate statutes within the United States Code and state and local laws with a nexus to their branch ; they are also tasked with enforcing the Uniform Code of Military Justice ( UCMJ ), a jurisdiction not held by most of the larger federal agencies.

DCIS, USACIDC, Army Counterintelligence, NCIS, and AFOSI civilian agents enjoy statutory law enforcement authority.

As of 2007, the AFOSI has 2, 900 employees.

In addition to the FOA's headquarters, AFOSI has eight field investigations regions.

In sum, AFOSI owns more than 160 units worldwide.
