The International Military Sports Council, known by its acronym "CISM", is an international sports association composed of the armed forces of member nations accepted by the General Assembly. CISM is open to the armed forces of all nations. The aims of CISM are to develop friendly relations between the Armed Forces of member nations, promote physical education and sports activities, provide mutual technical assistance, support less privileged members in the name of friendship and solidarity, contribute towards the balanced and harmonious development of military personnel, and contribute to the international effort for universal peace. On May 1946, the Allied Forces Sports Council was set up, namely by Colonel Debrus and Major Mollet who were among the founding fathers of CISM two years later. Unfortunately, because of political discord, the Allied Forces Sports Council was extinguished in 1947. However, the ideal was rekindled the following year with the founding of CISM and the rise of a global vision. 1, record 5, English, - International%20Military%20Sports%20Council

Fondé le 18 février 1948, le Conseil international du sport militaire (CISM) est l'une des plus grandes organisations multidisciplinaires au monde. Nous organisons diverses manifestations sportives pour les Forces armées de nos 130 nations membres. Les militaires, qui auparavant se rencontraient parfois sur le champ de bataille, se retrouvent désormais en toute amitié sur les terrains de sport, en plein accord avec la philosophie et les idéaux repris dans la Charte d'adhésion du CISM adoptée en 1998 et signée par toutes les nations membres. Notre objectif fondamental est de contribuer à la paix mondiale en unissant les Forces armées par le sport. La devise qui guide notre action est « Amitié par le sport ». 1, record 5, French, - Conseil%20international%20du%20sport%20militaire
