Hey I was searching around on the internet when I came across someone talking about PSYOPS.And it hit my curiousity so now I must ask questions to random people.
What is PSYOPS?
What branch’s of the military have this MOS/Rate?
What are the requriments to get into PSYOPS?
Is it speical operations or do they work with Speical operations?
What do they do?
And I have a few more questions but I think this is fine for now….
Psychological Operations is warfare on the enemy’s mind used words and images. Much of what we do is trying to influnence the battle through what is called force multiplication, we used techniques to make it even harder for the enemy to fight by lowering morale and taking away the support of the people. For instance we may use diversionary tactics by playing demoralizing messages over a loud speaker while handing out newspapers to the civilian population to gain their trust and interact.
The branch with the largest PSYOP is the United States Army, the 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) is the unit of which I am a part. There is no one MOS in PSYOP, but the primary MOS is 37F.
The requirements depend on your MOS.
We are Special Operations (USASOC).
