Military Info Spt Grp?

This came out today from SOCOM. Some of you seen it, I'm sure:

"8th Military Information Support Group (Airborne) Activation Ceremony
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (USASOC News Service, Aug. 24, 2011) – The 8th Military Information Support Group (Airborne) will hold an activation ceremony at 9 a.m., Aug. 26, on Meadows Field at the U.S. Army Special Operations Command headquarters."


What does an MISG, and their MISBs for that matter, do? Is this another reinvention of the Psyops Gps?

"Information" must have by now beat out the word "Fuck" as the most over-used word in the English language.

They simply renamed PsyOps to MISO.

Info?

Info?

Man, that is so hip sounding. Like we tweet, and e-mail, and text, and you-tube all over the place

What ever happened to "Army" sounding names for units?
