US Army’s 8th Psychological Operations Group inactivated

The US Army formally inactivated the 8th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) at Fort Bragg on September 29, 2026, as part of a restructuring of its psychological operations force. Established in 2013, the group had overseen specialized units including the 3rd and 9th Psychological Operations Battalions and contributed to military information-support activities. The reorganization changes command relationships and the distribution of units across the Army's special operations structure rather than ending the underlying psychological operations mission. Other active-duty and reserve psychological operations formations remain in existence, and the announcement did not describe a broad withdrawal of information-related military capabilities.
