Herewith a collection of patches worn by the Coalition forces contributing PSYOPS personnel to the Combined Joint PSYOPS Task Force, or CJPOTF. Many nations do not have the capacity to provide for a full time PSYOPS function. Many nations are constrained by political uncertainty about PSYOPS and negative perceptions about it. Many thus do not have such a capability formally recognised within their military structure. Many nations 'hide' this capability within more 'acceptable' termed units such as Civil Military Cooperation or Information Operations. The PSYOPS function, however, is fast becoming an important aspect of modern counter insurgency and NATO / ISAF doctrine. Some nations find it easier to contribute personnel to these multinational coalition units hidden in the myriad of HQ or coalition controled units.
