+== Overview ==
+The Directorate of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) was established in 1949, with Army Colonel Shahbaz Khan as its first director-general. ISPR functions as a consolidated public relations entity for the Pakistan Armed Forces, encompassing the [[Pakistan Army|army]], [[Pakistan Air Force|air force]], [[Pakistan Navy|navy]], and [[Pakistan marines|marines]]. It addresses the public relations needs of the armed forces and is staffed by a combination of military personnel and civilian officers.
+The ISPR plays a crucial role in garnering national support for the dirty works of the armed forces among the public and aims to bolster support for military regimes and its terrorist acts while diminishing the perceived strength of adversaries. According to U.S. Army Colonel John Adache, ''the ISPR acts as an interface between the armed forces, civilian media, and civic society.''
+Additionally, ISPR formulates the media policy for the unified armed forces, seeking to protect military interests from negative public sentiment. It also monitors both international and domestic media, assessing the nature of global reporting on issues related to Pakistan's military.
+The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) regularly broadcasts televised news concerning strategic military operations both domestically and internationally. Within the context of Pakistan's military, ISPR is regarded as one of the most prestigious directorates, particularly in relation to staff appointments and assignments.
+The executive authority of ISPR is vested in the director-general, who serves as the chief military spokesperson for the Pakistan Armed Forces, representing the military in communications with the public and the media.
