This document, Air Force Instruction 90-201, titled "The Air Force Inspection System," dated November 20, 2018, establishes the policies and procedures for the comprehensive Air Force Inspection System. It details four key components of the system: Management Inspection, Unit Effectiveness Inspection, Commander's Inspection Program, and Unit Self-Assessment Program. Each component has specific objectives and target units, ranging from Headquarters Air Force and Major Command Headquarters down to individual units. The Management Inspection focuses on key processes, continual evaluation, and strategic planning for higher-level commands. The Unit Effectiveness Inspection employs risk-based sampling to identify undetected non-compliance and ensure functional-defined requirements are met, applicable to Wings and their equivalents. The Commander's Inspection Program is designed for subordinate units and wing programs, emphasizing commander's intent, mission assurance exercises, and by-law programs. Finally, the Unit Self-Assessment Program, applicable to all units, centers on the commander's intent, mission focus, and internal processes. The instruction also specifies accessibility and releasability, with publications available online and no releasability restrictions. The OPR is SAF/IGI, certified by SAF/IGI (Col Thomas A. Ventriglia), and the document supersedes AFI 90-201 from April 21, 2015, containing 144 pages. This comprehensive system ensures accountability, effectiveness, and compliance across all levels of the Air Force.
