==Post-War Continuity:== 
After World War II, AIU further expanded internationally, opening offices in Japan and Germany in 1946 to provide insurance primarily for U.S. military personnel. Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, AIU continued to open offices across Europe (France, Italy, UK) and other regions. This is consistent with the CIA's activities in Operation Gladio in these areas. The Constantine Report indicates that AIG (and thus AIU) continued this legacy post-war, implying that the insurance industry’s global network made it a natural cover for CIA operations. It argues, “If the insurance business was heavily involved in OSS covert operations during World War II, it is most definitely NOT a leap of logic to suspect that the world’s biggest insurer today (AIG) is also heavily involved in them”. The report suggests that AIG’s 2008 bailout, costing over $180 billion, was motivated not only by financial concerns but also by the need to protect covert operations, as a bankruptcy could disrupt CIA activities embedded within AIG’s global operations.

In 1967, American International Group, Inc. (AIG) was incorporated as a unifying umbrella organization for most of C.V. Starr's general and life insurance businesses, effectively making AIU a crucial part of the larger AIG entity.
