The MindWar Paper (1980)

Doctrinal Foundation — "From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory"

In 1980, two military officers proposed that future wars should be fought inside people's minds, not on battlefields — using electromagnetic, psychotronic, and information weapons to alter enemy cognition without kinetic engagement. That paper became the doctrinal foundation for everything from PSYOP to social media manipulation.
