________________________________________________________________________
The On-Site Inspection Agency was established as a separate Department 
of Defense agency on January 26, 1988, to implement the 13-year 
inspection regime of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. 
The Agency's mission has since expanded to include implementation of on-
site inspection and escort requirements of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty 
(TTBT); implementation of like requirements of the Conventional Armed 
Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty 
(START); implementation of the inspection regime of the Vienna Document 
of 1994; and planning for the Peaceful Nuclear Explosion Treaty (PNET) 
and Chemical Weapons (CW) agreements. The Agency also serves as the 
Defense Department's executive agent to the United Nations Special 
Commission on Iraq and to the State Department for Operation Provide 
Hope.
    The Agency is manned by military personnel from all of the armed 
services, as well as civilian technical experts and support personnel. 
It maintains liaison with various Government agencies interested in arms 
control and draws its three civilian deputy directors from the U.S. Arms 
Control and Disarmament Agency, State Department, and Federal Bureau of 
Investigation.
