MISSION OF PSYOP-WARFARE, per USA psy-op program documents.

MISSION OF PSYOP

1-5. The mission of PSYOP is to influence the behavior of foreign target
audiences (TAs) to support U.S. national objectives. PSYOP accomplish this
by conveying selected information and/or advising on actions that influence
the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of
foreign audiences. Behavioral change is at the root of the PSYOP mission.
Although concerned with the mental processes of the TA, it is the observable
modification of TA behavior that determines the mission success of PSYOP. It
is this link between influence and behavior that distinguishes PSYOP from
other capabilities and activities of information operations (IO) and sets it
apart as a unique core capability.
