  • The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), colloquially known as MI6 is the United Kingdom's external intelligence agency, part of the country's intelligence community. Under the direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), it works alongside the Security Service (MI5), Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS).
  • It is frequently referred to by the name MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6), a name used as a flag of convenience during the First World War when it was known by many names. The existence of MI6 was not officially acknowledged until 1994. Its headquarters, since 1995, are at Vauxhall Cross on the South Bank of the River Thames.
  • The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), more commonly known as MI6 (originally Military Intelligence Section 6), or the Secret Service or simply Six, is the United Kingdom's external intelligence agency. SIS is responsible for the United Kingdom's espionage activities overseas, as opposed to the Security Service (MI5) which is charged with internal security within the UK. The Republic of Ireland also falls within MI5's remit. It was founded in October 1909 (along with MI5) as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau.
  • The Secret Intelligence Service, almost always referred to in media by the term "MI6" (Military Intelligence 6'), is the external intelligence agency for the United Kingdom, roughly equivalent to the United States' CIA. Formed as the Secret Service Bureau in 1909 under the leadership of Captain Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming, its existence was not officially acknowledged until 1994, although it now has a website. Its reputation in media is inextricably linked to the James Bond mythos, and the agency's appearances in media tend to either play to, or directly contradict such notions.
  • The U.K. Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) (MI-6) is responsible for supplying the British Government with foreign intelligence. Alongside the internal Security Service (MI-5), the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS), it operates under the formal direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC).
  • The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6) is the British equivalent of the American CIA. Throughout Chuck, it is commonly referred to by its unofficial previous title; "MI6", often used by the mass media, although files and documents provided by them feature the SIS logo prominently.

abstract
  • The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), more commonly known as MI6 (originally Military Intelligence Section 6), or the Secret Service or simply Six, is the United Kingdom's external intelligence agency. SIS is responsible for the United Kingdom's espionage activities overseas, as opposed to the Security Service (MI5) which is charged with internal security within the UK. The Republic of Ireland also falls within MI5's remit. It was founded in October 1909 (along with MI5) as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau. Acting as the employer of Commander James Bond, the Secret Intelligence Service is first introduced in Ian Fleming's 1953 debut novel Casino Royale, referred to simply as the "Secret Service", and appeared in almost every subsequent story in the James Bond franchise. Fleming's SIS typically operates under the cover-name "Universal Exports" and is comprised of subsections such as the 00 section and their research and development division, Q Branch.
  • The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6) is the British equivalent of the American CIA. Throughout Chuck, it is commonly referred to by its unofficial previous title; "MI6", often used by the mass media, although files and documents provided by them feature the SIS logo prominently. The SIS is one of the oldest intelligence agencies in the world, having existed in one form or another since 1909, and it works in tandem with the domestic MI5 and GCHQ as part of the United Kingdom's "Joint Intelligence Committee ". The SIS Headquarters are in Vauxhall, London, on the banks of the River Thames, as highlighted in the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.

Under the direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), it works alongside the Security Service (MI5), Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS).
  • The U.K. Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) (MI-6) is responsible for supplying the British Government with foreign intelligence. Alongside the internal Security Service (MI-5), the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS), it operates under the formal direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). SIS has access to GCHQ information and DIS military intelligence. Its Current Intelligence Groups also report to Government Departments and Military Commands in the weekly Red Book. The SIS receives direction from the JIC — unlike MI5, SIS is "tasked."
  • It is frequently referred to by the name MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6), a name used as a flag of convenience during the First World War when it was known by many names. The existence of MI6 was not officially acknowledged until 1994. In late 2010, the head of SIS delivered what he said was the first public address by a serving chief of the agency in its 101-year history. The remarks of Sir John Sawers primarily focused on the relationship between the need for secrecy and the goal of maintaining security within Britain. His remarks acknowledged the tensions caused by secrecy in an era of leaks and pressure for ever-greater disclosure. Its headquarters, since 1995, are at Vauxhall Cross on the South Bank of the River Thames.

By the way, the chief is known as "C" (after Smith-Cumming), not "M", although Ian Fleming, himself an ex-secret agent, was inspired by Smith-Cumming's use of green ink. It has a rather cool base, namely its headquarters at Vauxhall Cross.
