AFOSI has three primary missions. First is the counterintelligence mission. This mission includes investigating the crimes of espionage, terrorism, technology transfer and computer infiltration.

AFOSI's second mission area is felony crime investigations. The vast majority of AFOSI's investigative activities fall into this mission area. These crimes include murder, robbery, sexual assaults, illegal narcotics offenses and a full spectrum of other criminal acts.

The third AFOSI mission is economic crime investigations, commonly referred to as fraud. These investigations include violations of contracting matters, pay and allowance matters, and environmental crimes, just to name a few.

The recruitment process to become an AFOSI special agent can be lengthy. If accepted, training is conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, located in Brunswick, Ga. FLETC is a joint training environment with many other U.S. federal law enforcement agencies.
