El Salvador Psychological Operations Assessment

Abstract

The primary purpose of this assessment is to outline the necessary components for success in the War of Information and the actual aspects of Psychological Operations (PSYOP) within the context of the struggle in El Salvador. It is objective oriented and threat based, and focuses on the strategic and operational levels of concern. It stresses the general climate of feeling -- on the part of key North American and Salvadoran (government and insurgent) players -- that was found during the period from October 1986 to March 1988. In that sense, it is a snapshot of the PSYOP situation in El Salvador during that time.
