WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE PSYWARRIOR




PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS


"CAPTURE THEIR MINDS
AND THEIR HEARTS AND SOULS
WILL FOLLOW"



> Psychological Operations (PSYOP) and Psychological Warfare (PSYWAR), these
> words generate thoughts of North Vietnam's "Hanoi Hanna", Japan's "Tokyo Rose"
> and more recently the Iraq's infamous "Baghdad Betty" of Desert Storm. To
> others the words psychological operations and psychological warfare conjure up
> images of our military playing mind games with the enemy. PSYOP is all this
> and much more, for you see there are essentially two great forces in
> warfare:-the physical and the moral. These two forces suggest two distinct
> approaches to warfare. One a "direct" approach, concentrating on the
> opponent's physical forces, and the other an "indirect" approach, focusing on
> moral forces. Both of these approaches have been tried throughout history,
> with a noted lack of emphasis on the indirect approach until more recent
> times. This website will attempt to give new emphasis to the indirect approach
> by conveying a better appreciation for the application of psychological
> operations. So sit back and join me on a tour of the history of Psychological
> Operations, and what PSYOP is today.
