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 Army’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.
The proponent of this publication is USAJFKSWCS. Submit comments and
