Although not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Austria is part of NATO’s Partnership for Peace framework and is a member of the European Union. Embassy Vienna has prioritized engagement with Austria on increasing diplomatic and non-lethal support for Ukraine.
In addition, through its Tri-Mission Joint Management Office (JMO), the embassy provides administrative and technical support to the two other U.S. missions in Vienna with significant Ukraine-related work: the U.S. Mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the U.S. Mission to the International Organizations in Vienna. As part of the inspection, OIG will review the embassy’s coordination on Ukraine-related issues and its JMO platform.
