  psychological actions, deliver messages, use loudspeakers for message delivery and tactical military
  deception, and for collecting information on the operational environment. Product development and
  production is a company-level and above function and requires coordination for dedicated support or tailored
  messages and are subject to applicable or required authorities within the given area of operations.
  CIVIL AFFAIRS OPERATIONS
  9-15. When planning a patrol, consideration must be given to civil affairs operations that may be ongoing or
  recently completed in the area that the patrol will occur. Spotlighting or reinforcing these operations, whether
  through talking points or by presence at the project site, can help reinforce their benefits.
  9-16. Civil affairs operations units often develop novelty items that resonate with indigenous audiences, such
  as school supplies, radios, and sports equipment or apparel. Patrols can employ these items to increase the
  effects of their engagements and interactions favorably. Commanders can facilitate the development and use
  of these items by providing access to funding sources and implementing streamlined approval processes.
  However, these items simply provide the venue to engage an audience and deliver the desired message. They
  are not the sole purpose of Soldier and leader engagements.
  COMBAT CAMERA
  9-17. Combat camera provides several benefits to patrols. First, combat camera can record engagements for
  historical purposes. Second, combat camera images can be used for future public affairs or MISO products.
  They can also be used to counter threat propaganda. If combat camera assets are not available, units can
  designate one or more Soldiers to use unit-issued or personal cameras; however, the unit must have a
  procedure in place for the review, clearance, and disposition of any images taken.
  TECHNICAL AND SPECIAL CAPABILITIES
  9-18. Electronic warfare assets can be coordinated to support operations by jamming, broadcasting, or
  spoofing to gain information environment effects that support and reinforce maneuver actions. Space assets
  can be requested to assist with reconnaissance, surveillance, communications, and imagery support. Requests
  for assets may have to go through the S-2 or S-6, depending on the specific capability and its intended use.
  9-19. Tactical military deceptions can be employed to influence a threat decision maker to take actions that
  give the friendly force a position of relative advantage. Special technical operations can be employed to
  create effects within the unit’s area of operations that cannot be accomplished by available assets or that
  would cause too great a risk. Effects in cyberspace may be requested to protect, exploit, or deny the threat
  the ability to collect or disseminate information in and through cyberspace.
