Website Official website

The Commander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI/CC) heads the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI or OSI) and derives its independent criminal investigative authority directly from the Secretary of the Air Force. AFOSI is also a field operating agency under the administrative guidance and oversight of the Inspector General of the Air Force.[1]

Brigadier General Terry L. Bullard is the current and 19th Commander of AFOSI.[1][2]

By federal statue,[3][4][5] AFOSI is a federal law enforcement agency with responsibility for conducting criminal investigations, counterintelligence, specialized investigative activities, protective service operations and integrated force protection for the Air Force. AFOSI is also a combat-ready military criminal investigative organization that provides the Air Force a wartime capability with counterintelligence support to force protection to find, fix, track and neutralize enemy threats in hostile and uncertain environments. AFOSI is the Air Force's focal point for working with U.S. and foreign nation law enforcement and security services in order to provide timely and accurate threat information in all environments. The activities of AFOSI are conducted by a worldwide network of over 2,000 military and civilian special agents stationed at major Air Force installations and a variety of worldwide special operating locations.[1]
