In the future there will be no wars similar to those of the past, but a new kind of war, the Hybrid Warfare, which is different from the others, since its internal elements are based on principles much changed than previous ones. These are extensive wars, encompassing virtually all fields: political, economic, social, cultural, military and mental. Under the terms of the current geopolitical and military situation, soldiers are subjected to intense stress, emotional type engrammic conditioning and dysfunctions with consequences on psychicological balance, on the health status, psychological features that can be influenced by both classical, conventional and by Mind Control type methods. Currently, in different armies, influencing the human psyche has become a true “weapon”3 and we show that concepts such as PSYOPS (Psychological Operations), the MindWar (Psychological Warfare) with their extensions Strategic MindWar and Transcendent Warafre are manifestations of the Psycho-Informational Distal Influence (PsiDI).
