A few remarks about Psyche Out...
I worked with 4th Psy Ops Group (Airborne) at Ft. Bragg. Psy Ops falls under Special Operations Command. Fantastic unit - really Outstanding.
Psy Ops generally attaches itself to a combat unit - so with a 12 man Special Forces A-Team, they might add 2 PsyOpers, and a Civil Affairs soldier. They are trained to work together.
It's all about force multiplication. The Psy Ops guys bring peakers to confuse the enemy with noise or loud music, or a Psy Ops Soldier might hand out pamphlets to indigenous people trying to help the SF guys recruit an army to train.
Psy Ops officers are like SF Officers - they don't start off as Psy Ops. They come from other areas like Infantry or Intelligence and then they apply and try out for Psy Ops. It's not as intense as Special Forces, but it is Spec Ops and it's pretty serious.
Consequently, by real Army standards: Psyche Out would be at least Airborne Qualified, and very possibly Ranger qualified (a LOT of the Psy Ops Officers are Ranger qualified). He would be an excellent Combat leader, but mainly tasked for odd missions, like distractions, etc. He makes an excellent choice for an XO on Night Force, and for the entire Joe Special Ops Command under Falcon.
I mean, everybody should use him as they best see fit, but I'm just saying that a Psy Ops Officer is the REAL DEAL. They are not to be taken lightly as some kind of Pogue. They are Special Operations Officers.
