Psychological Operations - U.S. Field Manual 3-05.30

Field Manual (FM) 3-05.30 is the keystone publication for Psychological Operations (PSYOP) principles. It is directly linked to, and must be used with, the doctrinal principles found in FM 3-0, Operations; FM 3-13, Information Operations: Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures; FM 100-25, Doctrine for Army Special Operations Forces; and Joint Publication (JP) 3-53, Doctrine for Joint Psychological Operations. It illustrates how PSYOP forces function for the supported commander and impact on the operating environment. This manual explains PSYOP fundamentals, unit functions and missions, command and control (C2) capabilities, and task organization. It also describes the PSYOP planning procedures, the employment of forces, and the intelligence and logistics support operations for PSYOP. FM 3-05.30 provides the authoritative foundation for PSYOP doctrine, training, leader development, organizational design, materiel acquisition, and Soldier systems. It is not intended exclusively for the PSYOP community; rather, it is intended to a large degree for supported commanders, regardless of Service, at all levels and their operations officers who will be supported by, and supervise, PSYOP personnel. PSYOP commanders and trainers at all levels should use this manual with Army mission training plans to develop and conduct their training.

This manual is unclassified to ensure its Armywide dissemination and the integration of PSYOP into the Armyâ€™s system. As the proponent for PSYOP doctrine and training, the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) published an additional FM, which is FM 3-05.301, Psychological Operations Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, to disseminate the specific tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to plan and conduct PSYOP. It will also publish FM 3-05.302, Tactical Psychological Operations Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, Army Training and Evaluation Programs (ARTEPs) for specific unit-level training, and the Soldier training publication (STP) for the 37F military occupational specialty (MOS). The provisions of FM 3-05.30 are subject to the international agreements listed in the Bibliography. There are numerous terms, acronyms, and abbreviations found within this manual. Users should refer to the Glossary for their meaning or definition.
