Australian Secret Intelligence Service

The Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is the Australian government intelligence agency responsible for collecting foreign intelligence, undertaking counter-intelligence activities, and cooperation with other intelligence agencies overseas.

Overview

ASIS sent its agents on missions all around the world, going as far as the Chinese island of Lian Yu. It provided its agents with specific suits of armor, some of which included a distinct operational equivalent of balaclava, used by ASIS operatives to protect their identities during secret operations.^[1]
