Not sure what IO might want to say about it, but generally speaking, PSYOP is placed under the combatant command / geo-CDR. The supported force operations officer S/G/J/C3 will excersise staff supervision of the POO (hehe, can't resist.... PSYOP Officer) & PSYOP Forces. HOWEVER, things will appear less clear with POTF/JPOTF/CJPOTF operations (which is the more common way for PSYOP forces to deply in support of big-Army operations) where the PSYOP CDR may be a functional component CDR subordinate to a TF/CJTF. Likewise, things can appear down right muddy with regard to PSYOP iso inter-agency, non-DOD assets, & fer'n military.
Did that clear it up?
And don't talk about product approval, assigned v/s attached, tacon v/s opcon, special considerations, or dealing with large dogs that have orange eyebrows - if you figure all that out, please publish copies.
