Integrated Resilience Office

Many factors influence our resilience. Giving attention and focus to the Comprehensive Airman Fitness domains including Mental, Physical, Social and Spiritual Fitness provides a holistic, strength-based framework to be ready for life’s curveballs. 

The Integrated Resilience Office (IRO) is the office of primary responsibility to provide strategic solutions to build high-end resilience, with special focus on the most effective primary prevention and response to interpersonal and self-directed violence. The IRO focuses on connection-based activities, education and awareness briefs, fostering a culture of help seeking behavior, gathering data to drive program goals, and providing helping resources when necessary. 

The IRO provides trainings, information and skill-building exercises Airmen and family members need to independently assess and adapt to the changes within their environment. Through resilience initiatives Airmen and family members are empowered to maintain the balance of cognitive skills, physical endurance, emotional stamina, social connectedness and spiritual well-being to thrive and carry out the Air Force mission.

Inspector General

The mission of the Inspector General is to support the 319th Reconnaissance Wing and associated units by Assisting, Educating, Motivating, and Independently Evaluating unit mission efficiency, in order to create a more disciplined and combat ready force. The IG builds a culture of compliance and continual improvement by providing commanders with a thorough and unbiased assessment of unit operations.

When presented with an issue, IG will do one of five things:

InvestigateIG investigations are administrative in nature--they are fact finding rather than a judicial proceeding.

ReferWhen the complaint is a valid issue, but not an IG issue. The agency, or your leadership, that the complaint is referred to must inform the IG what they did to address your issue. 

AssistIG assistance is the simple process of making phone calls, asking questions, or soliciting helpful information from appropriate offices or agencies or putting complainants in touch with people, offices, or agencies who can address their concerns.

DismissIf a Complaint Analysis discloses no recognizable wrong or violation of law, regulation, or policy.

TransferA complaint is transferred when a complaint analysis determines an Air Force Inspector General other than the one receiving the complaint should resolve it.

The Inspector General provides services for active duty and civilian personnel.
