In 2003-2008 McChrystal headed the super-secret "Joint Special Operations Command" in the Pentagon. He took over an insular, shadowy commando force with a reputation for spurning partnerships with other military and intelligence organizations. He managed to build close relationships with the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. He won praise from C.I.A. officers, many of whom had stormy relationships with commanders running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His command is credited for the death of [[Al-Qaeda]] leader [[Abu Musab al-Zarqawi]].

Before McChrystal's appointment to ISAF in May 2009, command was held by Gen. David D. McKiernan, who was forced out by the Obama Adminsitration, which demanded a new look at policy options.
