Psychological Operations in Support of Internal Defense and Development Assistance Programs (1968)

At the United States embassy of a small fictional country, Hostland, delegates request assistance in counteracting the outside influences which “have planted the seeds of subversion” in their country. “As with most countries that find themselves in the midst of a Communist inspired insurgency, Hostland has a population with a doubtful sense of national unity”. In this fictional land with hints of Latin American influence, the United States military must work with the government of Hostland, not only to provide militaristic strength, but through psychological operations to gain the support of the population. “Psychologically, the military in every country in the world represents government authority. Military psychological operations cannot function independently. They must always reflect the national policy of the host country.”
