British Army May Use Internet 'Trolls' to Conduct Psychological War

"The Independent reports that members of the Internet 'trolling' unit will deal with non-lethal forms of psychological warfare using social media.

The Chief of the British Army, General Sir Nick Carter said that the new plan is to adapt to the 'asymmetric' battlefields of the 21st century, where 'tactics and strategies differ significantly between enemies, such as with the Islamic State group.'

Carter added that '77 Brigade is being created to draw together a host of existing and developing capabilities essential to meet the challenges of modern conflict and warfare.'"
