Comments
From the PSYOP Regimental Association President
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the
PSYOP Regimental Association newsletter. I
am honored and humbled to be your association president. As an eighteen year veteran of
the community, I can assure you it is an exciting time to be associated with
PSYOP. It is our goal to provide
you the professional association you
and your branch deserve. Like all
new organizations, we will experience growing pains but with the
dedication of our executive council
and the help and patience of our
members we will get there. PSYOP
has come a long way. For those not next to
the flagpole, PSYOP is finally getting a command of its own. Now, it also has an association to go with it.
I would like to welcome and thank you for
joining your association and expressing your
vote of confidence in our new organization. I
invite your input as we strive to be a value
added advocate for your branch, CMF and the
PSYOP community at large. For
those who are interested, I encourage you to volunteer through one of
our secretaries within the association. I would also ask that you
encourage your fellow Soldiers to
join. Our Association is for all who
have served or have been associated
with PSYOP. Finally, I would like
to thank each and every one of you for your
past, present and future service to our community and our country.

PRA President
From the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment
I am grateful to those at Fort Bragg who created
the new PSYOP Regimental Association (PRA).
Their design from the beginning has been to
build an organization that welcomes all PSYOP
professionals, past and present, who have practiced the art or supported the work of
psychological operations. As an inclusive organization it seeks to provide a
place where we can enjoy a sense of
fraternity and comradeship in support
of the founding organization of the
modern Special Operations community, while establishing a platform for
the presentation and discussion of the major issues facing PSYOP practitioners today and into
the future.
The PSYOP Regimental Association also provides for the creation of PRA Chapters throughout the United States and abroad with an eye on
placing a strong chapter in Washington,
D.C., in order to create a venue for PSYOP
promotion in the capital. Persons interested
in standing up a chapter should follow the
requirements in the By-Laws and endeavor to
include all PSYOPers and friends of
the Regiment regardless of branch
of service or nation of service. The
success of the PRA will depend
upon our dedication to making the
Association responsible to the
needs of all PSYOP professionals.
Again, thank you to all who did the heavy
lifting to create the PRA, and welcome to the
Association.

The KU Interagency Studies Program & PSYOP Officer Development
The federal government response to the 9/11
terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina
combined with support and stability operations
waged throughout the world in the greater war
on terror have required extensive coordination
between the military and other U.S. agencies.
This has been especially relevant in
counterinsurgency and reconstruction efforts
which test the U.S. Government’s ability to
coordinate civil-military operations. The U.S.
Army produced a counterinsurgency field
manual, FM 3-24, which explicitly states that
the integration of civilian and military efforts
is crucial; however, many Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans from across the
government are outspoken against what they
perceive to be ineffective coordination
between government agencies.
Successful prevention of and response to
homeland security threats demands
coordination and collaboration between federal
agencies. For example, Pakistani-American
Faisal Shahzad’s failed attempt at detonating a
car bomb in New York’s Times Square
required the Federal Bureau of Investigations
(Department of Justice), DoD, and Department
of State (DoS) officials to describe and better
understand the potential of other terrorist
threats to the U.S. originating in Pakistan.
Similarly, relief efforts in Haiti included DoD
personnel in the form of a U.S. Army
peacekeeping force with U.S. Navy disaster
relief, while DoS took the lead in Haitian relief
efforts and managed the flow of travel (both
American and Haitian) in and out of Haiti.
In the DoD, Special Operations Forces (SOF)
are working to achieve effective
communication and coordination between
civilian and military organizations.
Psychological Operations (PSYOP)
practitioners provide SOF the capability to
create attitudes and behavior in foreign
audiences that are conducive to U.S.
Government objectives, and U.S. Army
PSYOP is the only DoD organization with the
2
mission to influence foreign audiences. The
University of Kansas Interagency Studies
Program (ISP) enables PSYOP officers to
better execute persuasive communications
missions coordinated with non-traditional
military partners, such as DoS, by providing
PSYOP officers with formal, objective tools: a
graduate education in interagency operations
for mid-level, career Department of Defense
(DoD) professionals (military and civilian).
PSYOP personnel generally understand the
necessity of interagency operations in
achieving mission success, but they are
sometimes equipped with the idea that
informal relationships are crucial, and often
all that is required, to conduct business that
would otherwise require more formal,
bureaucratic, systems. This is good advice, but
this perspective has no doubt contributed to
unsuccessful interagency cooperation.
Personnel, who fail to develop informal
relationships across agencies, are left with few
options and limited understanding to
accomplish interagency tasks. The ISP is
filling this void, providing PSYOP officers the
tools needed to negotiate interagency
operations in national and international
venues.
Three broad concepts stressed throughout the
program are particularly helpful for the
professional PSYOP officer: an understanding
of culture in the interagency environment, a
historical understanding of the interagency
process, and an ability to explain interagency
relationships through political philosophy.
The concept of culture in relation to
organizations and organizational change
should be understood by the student of
interagency operations. ISP students quickly
realize that the complexity of the U.S.
Government leads to the cultural challenges of
internal integration as defined by Edgar
Schein in Organizational Culture and
Leadership. Internal integration issues require
(Continued, next page)
(Continued, from page 2)
well defined group boundaries and properly
distributed power and status; this fact is
commonly referred to by civil servants who
reference different agencies and projects as
“rice bowls.”
The Edmund Burke quote, “Those who don’t
know history are destined to repeat it,” is well
known, yet history is largely ignored in
interagency operations. DoD, DoS, and USAID
personnel are often just vaguely familiar with
past civil-military operations, such as the
Philippines in the early twentieth century and
the Civil Operations and Revolutionary
Development Support (CORDS) mission in
Vietnam; very few know, understand, or even
care about how past civil-military operations
were administered. Only through a deep
understanding of the conduct of past exercises
can lessons be learned for contemporary and
future civil-military operations. Although it
seems obvious that past experiences should be
studied in context to obtain lessons for the
conduct of today’s operations (organizations, of
course, do exist to capture such lessons learned
internally in most agencies and the Government
Accountability Office monitors and documents
information from all agencies), studies that do
exist are not designed to examine inter-
agency operations. ISP students are afforded
the opportunity to study these events indepth as case studies in interagency operations.
Page 3
Many ISP students have been quick to question the practicality of political philosophy,
but the study of political philosophy reveals
its utility in the conduct of interagency operations. Political philosophy, for the purposes of interagency studies, provides a thorough analysis of the origins and propositions
of power and conflict, as a central component of international relations theory. From
an understanding of the concept of culture in
relation to organizations and organizational
change to the ability to objectively analyze
interagency operations in a historical context
for practical benefit, the ISP is providing
students with invaluable tools. The great
works of western thought that students are
introduced to attest to the traditional academic rigor of the program, while again providing students the academic basis to think
critically and analyze their current and future
organizations with likely an altered and
enlightened perspective.

Prior Service Accessions (PSA) Program
The PSYOP Branch Proponent has established
procedures for evaluating and processing
PSYOP qualified NCOs onto active duty within
ARSOF. The PSA program is open to all
Psychological Operations CMF 37 qualified
individuals who previously served in the active
or reserve component, or are currently serving
the in the reserve component, and desire active
service in the Psychological Operations
Regiment. This program allows Reserve, or
former PSYOP qualified Soldiers to fill a
PSYOP position within one of the two active
duty Military Information Support Groups. A
PSA candidate is an individual who possesses
the PSYOP attributes, experience, and leadership
skills critical to the SOF.
The PSA program affords prior Psychological
Operations qualified Soldiers a unique and
specialized process to return and serve with
the Psychological Operations Regiment. The
program provides a fast track to refresh
technical and tactical skills and ensure our
candidates are proficient and prepared to meet
the demands faced by today’s Regiment.
Psychological Operations Soldiers remain in
high demand and continue to receive Airborne
and language pay. The Psychological Operations Regiment is without rival and we look
forward to serving alongside you.
If you are interested in joining the Regiment,
please contact the Psychological Operations

PSYOP Forces Ratio Rule of Thumb
[Even chimps
understand what
size of force is
necessary to
achieve their
objective.]
To perform an attack as an infantry unit, the
universal rule of thumb made famous by
Lanchester's Square Law is to employ a 3:1
forces advantage over the
adversary (Davis, 1995).
Napoleon's artillery rule of
thumb was to commit 3 guns
per 1000 enemy combatants
(Field Artillery and Firepower, 1989). Even chimpanzees will not engage an
adversary group unless their
group outnumbers the opposition by a factor of 1.5 to 1
(Wilson, Britton, Franks,
2002).
What is the PYSOP rule of
thumb? Our target is not an aggregate of enemy combatants as with infantry, artillery and
chimpanzees. Our target is more complex than
that. Our target consists of enemy combatants
as well as varied sizes of population segments.
The purpose of this article is not to attempt to
solve the elusive equation, but to spark discussion and academic thought.
Our force structure is not predicated on the
threat size, population density, market size or
any other demographic indicator. Instead, it is
determined by the size of the
supported unit, or by the desk
space available in an embassy.
Should a 4-person MIST be
responsible for a country with
a population of 6 million,
while a 2-person MIST is responsible for a country with 25
million? How much of a population can 1 unit of PSYOP
manpower reasonably expect
to exact behavior change? If
answered, it is a question that
may produce a change in resourcing and manning and
more properly distribute PSYOP resources
across the battlefield. In our current era of
fiscal constraint, we must exercise the highest
level of stewardship. With a mathematically
engineered estimate of required PSYOP manpower, the justification for more forces where
they are needed becomes harder to refute.

Book Review: Revolution 2.0 by Wael Ghomim
PSYOP Regimental Association
Revolution 2.0 is Wael Ghonim's account of
his experiences during the Arab Spring Revolution of Egypt in Jan 2011. If you are an
unconventional warfighter, you should recognize Ghonim's name as the leader that nearly
single-handedly orchestrated an unconventional warfare campaign using the internet as
a mobilizing force. His book is a four phase
blueprint of how he set about changing not
only his native Egypt by overthrowing the
government of an unwanted dictator, but also
inspired a transnational Arab youth movement to challenge their dictatorial leaders.
The following is a summarized outline of
how Ghonim organized his campaign filtered
through my perspective as a PSYOP Officer.
ments. Each phase required an individual to
assume a higher degree of risk, yet became
acceptable because the individual had graduated from the previous lower level of risk and
was ready to accept a moderate increase in
risk.
Phase one: Convince people to join his Facebook page and become members
of his group. This was not an
insignificant behavior considering the very real risk of being
discovered by the Egyptian Secret Police and being incarcerated, interrogated, tortured or
even killed for openly opposing
the ruling party. Ghonim was
able to first achieve this seemingly minor milestone by tugging
at Egyptians' heartstrings. He
adopted the Facebook persona of
an upper-middle class, educated
professional who had been beaten
to a gruesome death by the Secret
Police for protesting against the
ruling party. Ghonim began to post messages
as though they were coming from the martyr
himself, had he still been alive. This particular martyr story stood out to Ghonim from the
dozens of other Secret Police victims because
he was nearly identical to the victim in social
class, age and political stance. It finally occurred to him that the level of the regime's
brutality and corruption could destroy any
Egyptian's life. And in fact, after decades, it
had already destroyed the will of an entire
generation of Egyptians to speak out against
the regime.
uted content and psychologically positioned themselves to commit to phase four.
Phase two: Convince these members to take
their activism a step further and "like" his
Facebook page and to actually post com-
Phase three: Participate in online campaigns
and even contribute content (poetry, graphic
design for logos and other promotional material, videos, photos, composing and recording
songs of the revolution) capitalizing on the
talents of the Facebook page members themselves. This not only attracted more members
by visually, aurally and emotionally arousing
those still stuck in phase two, but solidified
the positions of those who actually contrib-
Phase four: Mobilize, take
action. Until this phase,
individuals have accepted
the position and the arguments of the campaign and
have participated willingly in
every way possible short of
actually showing their face in
public in solidarity with the
movement. The increase of
risk assumed by the individual
is greater in the transition
between phase three and
phase four than in any other
phase transition. Yet, it is made possible because the individual has participated relatively
anonymously in the virtual world to this point,
building passion for the cause all the while. The
transition between phase three and phase four
took the longest amount of time. The actual
behavioral change was realized when Ghonim
linked two related but very different events.
After learning of the successes of a similar
social media-enabled revolution in Tunisia,
Ghonim linked the date of the planned protest
in Tahrir Square to the annual date honoring the
Police in Egypt. Not only did the protesters
rally against the injustices of the Secret Police,
but they also celebrated the service of those
Police officers who served honorably by resisting the regime's intimidation practices, contrib-

uting to the legitimacy of the protesters' cause.
“It did not
happen
accidentally,
it was created
and there was
a formula to
how it
succeeded.”
How does this apply to Special Operations Forces?
Ghonim brilliantly described how the Egyptian
movement manifested. It did not happen accidentally, it was created and there was a formula to
how it succeeded. We can learn how a government
that no longer has the support of its population is
overthrown in the modern, digital age. Social media as a mobilizing force was not unique to Egypt.
Ghonim was convinced by the online-activismturned-actual-activism successes in Tunisia. It was
the Tunisian successes that sparked the idea to
replicate a similar mobilization model in Egypt.
And in turn, sparked similar efforts across the Arab
world to mobilize citizens and challenge governments. The conditions in both Egypt and Tunisia
were ripe for change. All the elements for success
existed: public disgust for the ruling class
(segmented population), a general disregard of
Internet activism and all-around online illiteracy
by the regime (a weakened government), a nationwide demographic of young people able to communicate with each other instantly (favorable terrain; i.e. dominance of the internet) and an example of the success achieved by others outside of
Egypt. What was missing in Egypt until Jan 2011
was a vision of what success looked like and an
agent with the technical and marketing savvy to
leverage the connecting mechanism of social
media, in other words: leadership.
I couldn't help but to draw many comparisons
between Ghonim's experience and Orson Welles'
classic "1984". Both involve a ruling class that
controls thought through the suppression of opposing political ideas. Both involve an individual
recognizing the situation and supporting a revolution to overthrow the government. Both involve a
protagonist that is captured by the regime security
element and incarcerated, interrogated, secluded
from the outside world while guards attempt to
coerce the individual into adopting the cause of
the regime. Fortunately for Ghonim, his story
turned out better than Winston Smith's.
This book is a fascinating read and sheds light
on many nuances of Egyptian and Middle
Eastern culture while giving an insider's look
at the psyche of an Arab population primed to
overthrow a government.

Bridging the Gap for Federal Reserve to Support Disaster Relief: Defense
Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)
Civil Authorities Information Support Element (CAISE)
training is recommended for MISO personnel assigned
within CONUS to prepare them to support disaster
relief within US borders.
A recent web article posted on www.usar.army.mil by
Major General Luis R. Visot, Commanding General for
the 377th Theater Sustainment Command based out of
Belle Chasse, Louisiana highlighted the challenges
faced by Army Reserve elements in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As emergency responders and
National Guard troops rushed to the aid of thousands of
citizens trapped in the aftermath of the disaster, Army
Reserve soldiers were forbidden by law from assisting
in the effort. New guidance contained in the National
Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) seeks to resolve
this issue and provide a clear framework for Federal
Army Reserve units to participate in disaster relief
efforts within U.S. borders.
Section 515 of the NDAA amends Chapter 1209 of title
10 in the United States Code authorizes the Secretary
of Defense to order Reserve units and personnel to
active duty “for a continuous period of not more than
120 days to respond to a Governor’s request” for support in responding to a major disaster or emergency.
Currently, U.S. service members are encouraged to
complete a series of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) courses to participate in disaster relief
efforts involving U.S. citizens. The program is administered through the Department of Defense by NORTHCOM in coordination with the Office of Homeland
Security. To find out more information about the program, visit www.dsca.army.mil or enroll at https:///
