Col. Reginald Bostick: Countering Ideological Narratives

Today on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, Col. Reginald Bostick lets us in on his new assignment as Commander of the 4^th Military Information Support Group, in what he calls, “the best month of my life.” Col. Bostick explains how the operation disseminates information to foreign audiences informing on U.S. political, economic, and military policy. The “truly unique organization” works with embassies in order to prevent conflict during peace time and in war. Bostick, the former Senior Military Fellow at the Institute of World Politics, explains the “cognitive revolution” that has taken place in the organization that used to be known as “Psychological Operations.” He explains the necessity of understanding cultural idiosyncrasies and how he seeks to make positive impacts on ideological narratives internationally, like preventing terrorist groups from recruiting youth.
