The Inspector General

“The IG must have a horse and some soldiers to attend him and all the rest are commanded to obey and assist, or else the Army will suffer. For he is but one and must correct many, therefore, he cannot be beloved . . .”

Article of War from King Charles I (circa 1629)

“The IG must have a COMPUTER AND E-MAIL and some LAWYERS to HELP him and all the rest SHOULD COOPERATE and assist, or else the CIVIL AIR PATROL will suffer. For THE IG is but one and must correct many, therefore, he PROBABLY WILL NOT be beloved . . .”

During a staff meeting with his 14 general officers in October 1777, General George Washington directed the establishment of an Inspector General for the Army.

British General Charles Cornwallis surrenders to American General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781, thus ending the American Revolution.

• The birth of the Air Force Inspector General mission occurred on January 6, 1948, as The Office of the Inspector General of the United States Air Force

• Major General Hugh Knerr was appointed by General Carl A. Spaatz as the first Inspector General of the Air Force
