Joint ISTAR Command

The Joint ISTAR Command (JISTARC, Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition & Reconnaissance Commando) is a joint military intelligence command of the Operational Support Command Land of the Royal Netherlands Army. The command is specialised in the gathering, analysis and distribution of military intelligence, and consists of eight operational company-sized subunits.
History.
JISTARC was formally established on 19 October 2011, in Oldebroek. The establishment was a result of an amalgamation of the 103 ISTAR Battalion, which was founded in 2003, with comparable units of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. Hence, JISARC is a joint command in which personnel of the various service branches work side-by-side. Organisationally, however, JISTARC is part of the Operational Support Command Land (OOCL) of the Royal Netherlands Army. Since 20 November 2020, the majority of JISTARC personnel is part of the Korps Inlichtingen & Veiligheid Prinses Alexia of the Information Maneuver Arm.
