IG UPDATES

The IG Update is a periodical issued by DAIG on an as-needed basis in order to inform Inspectors General and all Army personnel of major policy changes and directives. Local Inspectors General are highly encouraged to download these PowerPoint flyers, modify them with their local IG information, and post printed copies in common areas. Starting in 2024, an "Armywide" PDF version is also available.
