So Rolling Stone has published a story about a rogue general forcing his psyops team to target American legislators for more resources. I was a little surprised by that - I understood that the American military generally got whatever it asked for. Especially with the wars and all.

Got me thinking, though; aside from resources (money, manpower, research, etc), how different is military psyops from what is generally done here? Methodology would be largely the same, wouldn't it?

most certainly not, subtly is not necessary when you effectively own a person (POW). The way you would apply psyops on civilians or military personnel would necessarily be different from one another.
COC would require a total shift in social dynamic.
The principals would be similar but in the detail would vary a great deal, techniques and what would work also would.

If they speak a different language it could also change things if their language is different due to a differing structuring of ideas.

>>68 has the right idea and obviously has some exp. i'll just add a bit of bg info
psyops on a POW or "detainee" is oft referred to as enhanced interrogation and is more often than not done with some type of torture (look up waterboarding and iceboxing for "legal" examples).

PsyOp is applied on most levels of military operations, to some extent. It only becomes properly known as a PsyOp effort at a higher level, or in a field where it is deemed situationally applicable and performed by those with the training/clearance to do so. However, it's often as simple as interview techniques with civilians on the battlefield by a small unit leader or member, or the outward posture of a unit while dealing with a potentially integral or threatening party (handing out candy to kids VS. mean-mugging with weapons at the high ready). At the lower levels, its simply part of standard operating procedures, and usually serves moreso to complete the mission at hand then to collect intel/propogandize. It becomes the realm of passive counter-intel to those who give the orders, and usually the effects are not immediately seen at that level.

PsyOp in direct support of interrogation operations rarely happens at the lower levels, unless operational tempo dictates hasty intel gathering, and the like. Being the shiny side of the coin, it is the most common 3 or more tier exploitable method (ie.: we exploit the intel from the subject, subjects comrades exploit us through news media, news media effects morale of both sides).

Watch "Gunner Palace" from the 36 minute mark. US Army PsyOp in Iraq.
