Abstract: This paper examines the current issues and shortfalls of psychological operations (PSYOP) support to Strategic Communications in Afghanistan. The United States Government Strategic Communications message is not reaching the center of gravity, the Afghan people, and there is no coherent plan to provide a comprehensive message. Viable options are suggested to improve PSYOP dissemination of Strategic Communications. Properly resourced, and provided with expanded authorities based on policy changes, PSYOP can fill the current Strategic Communication gaps in Afghanistan.
