EVERYONE has the right to speak to the IG, and EVERYONE has the right to submit their complaint to the IG!


What is an IG Issue?

• Before you tell it to your Inspector General, be sure you have a problem and not just a peeve.

• To complain without fear of reprisal is the right of any Soldier, Civilian, or Family Member seeking IG help. After all, problem solving is one of the IG's primary missions.

• Understand better what a real issue is and what you can do about helping yourself, and others, in times of need.
