CISMis open to the armed forces of all nations officially recognized by the United Nations (UN) . The fundamental aim of CISM is to promote sport activity and physical education between armed forces asa means to foster world peace. This ideal is encapsulated in the CISM motto "FRIENDSHIP THROUGH SPORT". Background CISM was founded on 18 February 1948 in Nice, France. The five founding nations were Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. In the aftermath of World War I, an American, General John Pershing, recognized the need to breakdown linguistic and cultural barriers and promote friendship and morale among soldiers of Allied Forces. Asa result, he established the Allied Forces Sports Council in 1919 and organized the first international military sport event, the Inter Allied Games, in France. These games involved 18 nations from five continents and 1500 athletes in 24 sports. Following the Second World War, the Allied Forces Sports Council was revived, and the second Inter Allied Games were held in 1946 in Berlin. Most notably, allies from Western and Eastern Europe competed in harmony. 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 CISMand the rise of a global vision. Scope and Activity Since its founding in 1948 with five European nations, CISM has grown to over 140 member nations from Europe, Africa, Asia and America. In addition to many continental and regional championships, CISM organizes over 20 World Championships annually and the summer and winter Military World Games every four years with about several thousand participants including Olympic Medalists and World Champions. CISM also provides clinics, technical and solidarity assistance to and between members. In order to achieve these goals, CISM organizes scientific, medical and sports symposia and seminars.
