Psychological Operations Group

A Psychological Operations Group (PsyOps Group) is a military or governmental team specialized in influencing people's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve strategic objectives. They use communication tactics such as leaflets, broadcasts, social media, and other media to shape perceptions, reduce support for adversaries, or encourage desired actions. The goal is to influence audiences subtly, often during conflicts or crises, by delivering targeted messages that can sway opinions without direct confrontation. PsyOps are an important part of modern strategy, combining psychology, communication, and intelligence to support broader military or political goals.
