TOPIC: Psychological Operations

DISCUSSION: Psyops can assist the command through persuasion rather than intimidation. Through such local information programs as radio and television newscasts, and leaflet distribution, Psyops can help ensure that objectives and efforts are fully understood and supported by all.

LESSON(s):

  • Psyops can help promote acceptance of a cease-fire, withdrawal of troops, and compliance with security agreements by influencing attitudes, emotions, opinions, and behavior.
  • Such efforts can help counter rumors and disinformation and may even resolve some problems between the parties while the search for a long-term solution to the conflict is ongoing.
  • Psyops and Public Affairs (PA) personnel must coordinate their statements. Information should be timely, correct, and complete.
  • There will be psyops campaigns directed against U.S. forces that prey on the vulnerabilities of the population.
