Psychological Operation RESTORE HOPE

"The source of information for this webpage is "Psychological Operations In Support Of Operation RESTORE HOPE 9 December 92 - 4 May 93" published as an After Action Report by the 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne).



In early December 1992, elements from the 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) deployed to Somalia as part of the US led Unified Task Force (UNITAF) Somalia to provide PSYOP support to Operation RESTORE HOPE. To ensure that the application of psychological operations would be consistent and that PSYOP assets could be responsive to a broad spectrum of operational requirements, a Joint PSYOP Task Force (JPOTF) was formed and placed under the operational control of the UNITAF Commander.
