Intelligence Oversight Frequently Asked Questions

Focus areas within the Intelligence Oversight Division:


 

Intelligence Oversight

 

The Naval Inspector General Oversight Division is responsible for administering the Navy’s Intelligence Oversight program, and is the primary point of contact for all Intelligence Oversight matters, to include submission of quarterly reports, inspections, investigations, and clarification of regulations.

Intelligence Oversight is broader in scope than simply the protection of U.S. citizens’ rights and privacy.  Intelligence Oversight includes assurance that all Navy and Marine Corps intelligence activities, operations, and programs function in compliance with applicable U.S. law, statute, directive, and policy.
 

RDT&E Technology Protection

 

The Naval Inspector General inspects or directs the inspection of security, technology protection, and counterintelligence activities at Navy and Marine Corps Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) facilities.  An organizational entity is considered to be an "RDT&E facility" when it is owned and operated by the Government and conducts activities devoted to research, advanced technology development, demonstration/validation, engineering and manufacturing development, systems or operational support, testing and evaluation, or some combination thereof.
