This article is written in
Indian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analysed, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other
varieties of English. According to the
relevant style guide, this should not be changed without
broad consensus.
Seems like a reasonable change to call it a government agency. According to the
website, IDS oversees Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief operations, bilateral and multilateral Joint Exercises with the Defence Forces of other friendly foreign countries (FFCs) and is a nodal agency in all matters of Joint Training in HQ IDS... but all this doesn't make them a military unit I guess.

DiplomatTesterMan, the Integrated Defence Staff's main role is coordination and assistance, so, I think, that makes it a watered down version of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States (they have unified commands and sub-commands, we have commands for individual services), so, {{infobox government agency}} would be better off here, in my view, you are, of course, free to disagree with that.

So, I am thinking of nominating this article for did you know, but, I think I am coming up short on relevant and interesting hooks. Do you people have any hoook suggestions? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, it goes without saying that—as this is a collaboration—any nomination would have the mention of all contributors to this article, so, that all contributors can receive praise and recognition for their Wikipedia work. Regards,

I think it is late now, but the DYK could even have simply been something like, DYK... that the IDS is a tri-service defence organisation in India? Even the motto for IDS... "victory through jointness" would have been a good DYK. Anyway.
