The agency is primarily based on officers coming from all three armed forces – Army, Navy, and Air Force. While this may be true, the agency also recruits many civilians. This blend of officers coming from different sets of backgrounds contributes majorly to the reason behind the name “Inter-Services”.

Global Recognition

The ISI gained global recognition in the 1980s when it supported the Afghan mujahideen against the Soviet Union. During the Soviet-Afghan War, the ISI worked very closely in coordination with the United States Central Intelligence Agency as well as the United Kingdom’s Secret Intelligence Service. The key role of ISI in the war alongside the other two agencies made it one of the most recognized and famous intelligence agencies across the globe.
