	This records series was established within the Defence Secretariat of the Prime Minister's Department in c.1949 to support the functioning of the Joint Service Organisation (JSO). The JSO was a series of up to thirty-five joint Service Defence committees set up to provide coordination among the activities of the New Zealand army, navy and air force. Several military officers were seconded to the Defence Secretariat to service the JSO.

	At some stage in 1956-57 the JSO files were either top numbered or documents re-filed on different files.

	There a number of issues relating to the JSO file titles, as follows:

	

		

			A considerable number of the titles contain the word general, but many of these files contain substantial and significant information.
	
	

		

			Many of the file titles do not accurately reflect actual file content.
	
	

		

			Some file titles that seem significant, only contain copies of duplicates and reference information from allied nations.
	


	Although the JSO records series was formally created in 1949, some predecessor  records where incorporated into the records series.  The JSO records series was closed in 1964 when the functions of the Defence Secretariat and Joint Service Organisation were transferred to the new Ministry of Defence.  After the closure of the JSO record series, papers continued to be added to some of the files.

	The New Zealand Defence Force Headquarters still retains the files in the JSO record series that contain sensitive security or defence information. 

	The Ministry of Defence Headquarters Multiple Number Subject (MNS) System replaced the JSO files in 1964.

	Some of the JSO files transferred to Archives New Zealand have had original documents moved onto parallel files. These parallel files contain sensitive information relating to national security. On each file where documents have been removed, a note to this effect has been placed on the file. A parallel file has the identical title, record number and part number information as the main original file.
