ThePeople's Liberation Army Information Support Force (ISF) is an arm of thePeople's Liberation Army. It provides support for coordinating the construction and application of network information systems.[1][2] It was established on 19 April 2024.
The Information Support Force was established on 19 April 2024, together with the disestablishment of theStrategic Support Force.[3][4]
The new arm replaced the information support function of the previous Strategic Support Force, servicing the mission of coordinating the construction and application of network information systems within the People's Liberation Army, a critical part of multi-domain joint operations for military operation. The establishment of an independent arm for information support enabled institutionalization for the PLA doctrine.[5]
The Information Support Force is established as the deputy-theatre-command leader grade, the same as the Aerospace Support Force and Cyberspace Support Force. All three arms are positioned below both the regular service branches and thetheater commands in the PLA hierarchy.[6]
