Psychological Warfare Course for Western Alliance Members PURCHASE Training | Research Psychological Warfare is an umbrella term that describes the intentional weaponization of civilian populations and subsequent employment or incitement into violent actions against each other and against their own social and governing foundations. Psychological Warfare is waged using actions, activities, information, and messaging, that are both kinetic and non-kinetic. The textbook shown here is Valka-Mir's primary teaching guide to Psychological Warfare. Some of the popularly used subordinate concepts that are inherent within psychological warfare are psychological operations, civil affairs, partisan or unconventional warfare, insurgency or counterinsurgency, as well as terrorism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and cultural annihilation. In some NATO member countries, Psychological Warfare is categorised under Irregular Warfare (IW). Irregular Warfare is broader and can include activities such as critical target and infrastructure sabotage, subversion, intelligence, etc., that does not involve the host civilian population. Where the host civilian population is involved as intended perpetrators, victims, and bystanders in order to damage or collapse their own social and governing order, that part of IW is Psychological Warfare.
