AFAIK, US Army Psyop does not belong to or is considered an "intelligence element" of the Army. We were often reminded that we don't do intelligence work, but rather information work / warfare.

Being a civilian, what does this distinction mean/imply?

[Edit] wording For -> Being.

I assume the distinction is:

1. Intelligence: building database. Lakes of warehousing metadata and then analysis of it.

2. Psyops: weaponized intelligence. Memetic warfare. Directly affecting the thoughts of clusters to whatever end is strategized.
