PSYOP RESPONSIBILITIES
THE ARMED SERVICES
Each of the military services provides forces to accomplish its assigned PSYOP mission.
Although the US Army has the principal US military PSYOP capability, other services can
support the PSYOP efforts. Coordination among all military services and government
agencies is required to insure unity of effort, uniformity of policy, and adequacy of coverage.
JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF (JCS)
The Joint Chiefs of Staff serve as advisers and military staff in the operational chain of
command for unified and specified commands. They provide a channel of communications
for the President and Secretary of Defense to unified and specified commands, and
coordinate all communications in matters of joint interest addressed to these commands.
Under this authority, US Army PSYOP forces assigned to theater army or corps in times of
crises or during a state of hostilities are placed under operational control or in support of the
commander of the unified command. Through the JCS or the unified command, US Army
PSYOP units may be tasked to assist other US military or civilian agencies.
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

and foreign internal defense. In DA, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Operations
