Overseas Contingency Operations

The Inspectors General for the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development conduct oversight of and report on the overseas contingency operation "Operation Atlantic Resolve (OAR)," including U.S. Government activities related to Ukraine, pursuant to Section 1250B of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 and Lead IG reporting responsibilities under 5 U.S.C. 419.  This report also discusses the planned, ongoing, and completed oversight work conducted by the Lead IG agencies and our partner oversight agencies during the quarter that coordinate their activities through the Ukraine Oversight Interagency Working Group. OAR is the U.S. contingency operation to deter Russian aggression against NATO and to reassure and bolster the alliance in the wake of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. OAR also includes security assistance activities in support of Ukraine.

President Biden signed the fifth supplemental appropriation for Ukraine into law on April 24, 2024. Enacted as part of a larger national security funding bill, this legislation provides nearly $60.78 billion for the U.S. Government’s Ukraine response, of which more than $48.43 billion will be administered by the DoD, nearly $11.62 billion by State and USAID, and approximately $0.73 billion by other U.S. Government agencies. USAID also announced a new $439 million energy sector-related award this quarter.  USAID’s spend plan for the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 allocated $7.85 billion from the Economic Support Fund (ESF) for Direct Budget support, $1.45 billion in Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia (AEECA) funds for USAID Ukraine and $50 million for Global Food Security.
