Military Psychological Operations

Military Psychological Operations (PsyOps) involve strategic efforts to influence the perceptions, emotions, and behaviors of foreign audiences, enemy forces, or populations. The goal is to achieve military objectives without direct confrontation by conveying targeted information, disinformation, or messages designed to weaken morale, promote trust in friendly forces, or undermine adversaries' will to fight. These operations utilize various communication methods—such as broadcasts, leaflets, or social media—and are carefully planned to shape opinions and behaviors in favor of strategic goals, often operating covertly to maximize their effectiveness.
