Returned from two days at Fort Bragg to teach a great group of officers and senior NCOs about psychological operations (PSYOP), still confusingly called military information support operations (MISO).
There is no shortage of critical thinkers among the special operations soldiers in these units, a very encouraging thing to see, even though overall training doctrine is a challenge to be surmounted.
Nevertheless, it’s always a privilege to teach our special ops people about how to maximize their effectiveness through non-kinetic means, which – when done properly – saves the lives of our own soldiers and those of innocent civilians.
