School of Service Intelligence
The School of Service Intelligence was formed by adding Royal Navy and Royal Air Force elements to the former School of Military Intelligence. It was based at Templer Barracks in Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom alongside the Headquarters and Depot of the British Army's Intelligence Corps and the Joint Service Interrogation Wing.
History
The school was established as the School of Military Intelligence at Templer Barracks in Ashford in 1966. It then became tri-service as the School of Service Intelligence in 1969.The SSI provided training to all elements of the British Armed Forces, civilian authorities and international partners, although Intelligence Corps recruit and trade training was carried out by the Depot. The SSI was later renamed the Defence Intelligence and Security School. In 1997, following the closure of Templer Barracks as a result of work on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the DISS and other elements were relocated to the Defence Intelligence and Security Centre, at Chicksands near Shefford, Bedfordshire.
The Barracks have now been demolished with the exception of Repton Manor, a Grade II listed building.
