Regarding 太平洋司令部的心戰部隊.
(i) Psychological Operations (United States; acronym: PSYOP): "Between 2010 and 2014, PSYOP was renamed Military Information Support Operations (MISO), then briefly renamed PSYOP in Aug 2014, only to return to MISO shortly thereafter in 2015 [in army, air orce, navy and Marine corps]" Wikipedia
(ii) 8th Military Information Support Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8t ... ation_Support_Group
(section 2 Organization, section 2.2 5th MISB(A) – United States Pacific Command (USPACOM)
(A) MISB(A) = Military Information Support Battalion (Airborne)
(B) Take notice Military Information Support Group (MISG) -- including its unit MISB(A) -- is part of US army. Th army's 5th MISB(A) does the work for navy's Pacific command: "The 5th Psychological Operations Battalion (Airborne) has responsibility for all psychological operations activities in the US Pacific Command (PACOM) theater of operations, which includes the Far East and the Pacific Rim."

(c) "美國軍方智庫亞太防務論壇的二○一六年手冊"
"Asia Pacific Defense Forum" is not a think tank, but a magazine. See About Us. APDForum.com, undated http://apdf-magazine.com/about-us/

In this light (“do not necessarily represent the policies or points of view of this command”), there is nothing to be excited about in Taiwan's media, in my view.
