The primary mission of Air Force District of Washington Inspector General is to sustain a credible Air Force IG enterprise by ensuring the existence of an effective inspection and investigative system.
AFDW's equivalent to the CIMB is the Internal Continual Evaluation (ICE). ICE meetings are held quarterly to report the unit self assessment program, internal continual evaluation activities, functional visits, observations, deficiency management, and readiness activities to the AFDW/CC. Externally, AFDW/IG hosts the Semi-Annual Inspection Council where the installation commanders provide status of their progress on MICT/IGEMS observations, deficiency management, AF Special Interest/Emphasis items, by-law status, MAJCOM IG focus areas, and continual evaluation activities to name a few.
IGs assist Airmen and Guardians of all ranks, family members, civilian employees, retirees, and other civilians by acting as the commanders’ eyes and ears to be alert to issues affecting the organization. All IGs must maintain a clear distinction between being an extension of the commander and their duty to serve as fair, impartial, and objective factfinders and problem solvers. IGs must be sufficiently independent so complainants continue requesting IG help, even when they feel the commander may be the problem; commanders must support this clear distinction for their IGs to be effective.
