United States Agency for Interagency Development/Office of Public Safety (USAID/OPS)-Viet Nam
The Center for Complex Operations (CCO) provides an annotated finding-aid with links (forthcoming) to scanned documents from the Records of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Public Safety (OPS). Available to the public at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in College Park, Maryland, these records (NARA RG 286, ARC #5662049) document interagency capabilities in counterinsurgency and police-advisory services developed over nearly 20 years of training and advising police forces in the Republic of Vietnam (1955-1975). The OPS records in NARA RG 286 present data of particular relevance to policy analysis on current and future interagency initiatives requiring the formulation and implementation of counterinsurgency strategies, the administration of civil-military operations, the deployment of non-military police forces in conflict zones, the rehabilitation of insurgents, and the transition of governance to new states.

The Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) is the successor to the Coalition Provisional Authority Office of Inspector General (CPA-IG). SIGIR was created in October 2004 by a congressional amendment to Public Law 108-106 (55KB PDF), triggered by the June 28, 2004, dissolution of the CPA. The amendment allows SIGIR to continue the oversight that CPA-IG had established for Iraq reconstruction programs and operations. Specifically, SIGIR is mandated with the oversight responsibility of the use, and potential misuse, of the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) and all obligations, expenditures, and revenues associated with reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in Iraq. The SIGIR documentation includes all quarterly and semi-annual reports to the U.S. Congress, all published audits and inspections, and all published special reports.
