Psychological Operations

Psychological operations are planned propaganda operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behaviour of foreign governments, organisations, groups, and individuals.

The purpose of United States psychological operations (PSYOP) is to induce or reinforce behaviour favourable to US objectives. They are an important part of the range of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic activities available to the US. They can be utilised during both peacetime and conflict. There are three main types: strategic, operational, and tactical. Strategic PSYOP include informational activities conducted by the US government agencies outside of the military arena, though many utilise Department of Defense (DOD) assets. Operational PSYOP are conducted across the range of military operations, including during peacetime, in a defined operational area to promote the effectiveness of the joint force commander's (JFC) campaigns and strategies. Tactical PSYOP are conducted in the area assigned to a tactical commander across the range of military operations to support the tactical mission against opposing forces.

PSYOP can encourage popular discontent with the opposition's leadership and by combining persuasion with a credible threat, degrade an adversary's ability to conduct or sustain military operations. They can also disrupt, confuse, and protract the adversary's decision-making process, undermining command and control. When properly employed, PSYOP have the potential to save the lives of friendly or enemy forces by reducing the adversary's will to fight. By lowering the adversary's morale and then its efficiency, PSYOP can also discourage aggressive actions by creating disaffection within their ranks, ultimately leading to surrender.

@Trantillium Then we must change it back to what it was supposed to be. Its a hard fight I know but we must try. Write to your congress men and women, protest, educate everyone you can get people voting have them read the issues and study up on the candidates. The ballot box may be lost to us but we must try for our sake and our children's sake. The task is a massive one with every voice speaking of justice and truth we can begin to treat the cancer and cure it.

[karimgenerous]

the funny thing about this documentary is that at the end the speakers is using propaganda to influence american soldiers against the communists' propaganda .

[Libertyin2010]

@Trantillium Its not supposed to be. Supposed to be a light of liberty that all nations can follow if they wish. Supposed to be a nation ruled by just law with the morals and laws of God being the example by which we all follow. This country has lost its way I'm afraid.
