Psychological operations groups from the Army Reserve support conventional Army forces within an AOR. These groups provide the formations that support Army corps, divisions, and brigades with military information support operations (MISO). A group forming a military information support task force normally operates in support of a corps, but it may provide direct support to a division. These groups’ capabilities are tactical in nature, and they lack the level of analysis, production, and dissemination required at the operational and strategic levels. They receive augmentation, including language and cultural expertise, regional analysis, and mass communications delivery capabilities. Depending upon its missions, a military information support task force receives additional augmentation from the supported maneuver unit and the Army Reserve strategic dissemination company. As the Army Reserve provides the only conventional force psychological operations capability, early mobilization and integration into predeployment training and the force deployment process is critical.
