The Evolution of Strategic Influence by LTC Susan Gough, April 2003 (U.S. Army War College Strategy Research Project)

Background

This paper will examine the evolution of how the U.S. Government and the Department of
Defense have organized to conduct strategic influence as an instrument of national power, from
the Psychological Warfare Division of World War II, through the Psychological Strategy Board
and Operations Coordinating Board of the early Cold War, through the Vietnam years to today.
Are they organized effectively today to meet the asymmetric threats of the 21st Century?
