#specialoperations #militaryintelligence #psychologicalwarfare Modern warfare isn’t just fought with weapons—it’s won with the mind. Today’s most elite warfighters are masters of intelligence, adaptability, and psychological resilience. In this episode, LTG John Braga, Commander of United States Army Special Operations Command, joins Fran Racioppi at the historic Utah Beach Communication Bunker to break down how America’s Special Operations Forces are preparing for World War III—and why the fight starts long before the first shot is fired. From mental toughness and intelligence integration to deterring adversaries like China and Iran, LTG Braga explains: -Why intelligence officers now shape the outcome of every mission -How SOF is adapting to cyber, space, and grey zone warfare -Why Special Operators must train their minds like elite athletes -What it takes to maintain the edge in multi-domain operations -How Special Operations continues the Jedburgh legacy 80 years later -They also reflect on the legacy of the WWII Jedburgh Teams and how that mission to disrupt, lead, and adapt behind enemy lines continues to shape the mission of Special Forces today.
