What the cohort accomplishes
Unified planning and execution. Leadership frames commander’s intent in cognitive effects and chairs synchronization; operators translate doctrine into field outputs, running persona operations, counter‑influence drills, deception annex rehearsals, and assessment dashboards under legal/PAO review.
- Weeks 1–4: Doctrine alignment, TAA essentials, structured adversary profiling, narrative engineering.
- Weeks 5–8: Cyber PSYOP TTPs; deception & denial (lawful ruses); counter‑influence ops; advanced adversary analysis & lawful exploitation paths.
- Weeks 9–12: Emergent techniques & AI; assessment frameworks (MoP/MoE/KABEB); cognitive armor; full staff integration rehearsal.
- Week 13: “Live‑fire” capstone with red‑team opposition and real‑time effects readouts.
Governance & ethics embedded: ROE, IHL, and host‑nation law checkpoints at design, rehearsal, execution, and AAR.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is the program aligned with EU law and NATO doctrine?
Yes. Instruction follows NATO IO/PSYOPS constructs and integrates GDPR, DSA, NIS2, and host‑nation legal/PAO reviews. Ruses lawful; perfidy prohibited.
-
Do you run mixed officer–operator cohorts?
Yes. The design intentionally mixes officers, enlisted leaders, and operators. Leadership and operator breakouts feed shared deliverables and the capstone.
-
How do we request a 2026 start date?
Use the contact button to request a planning window. Staff confirm scope, facilities, and red‑team support, then lock the calendar contractually.
