This is Who We Are
The US Army Psychological Operations Veterans Association (POVA) is the oldest continuous serving veterans' Association providing membership support, reconnection, reunion and philanthropic support to America's military PSYOP soldiers and veterans. Founded in 1988, POVA continually seeks to support and assist our fellow PSYOP veterans.
POVA IS A TAX-EXEMPT CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 501C3 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
Become A Member
POVA has a membership "home" for you. If you ever served in an active duty or Reserve PSYOP unit, you are eligible for membership in POVA - and we want you as a member! We all know what a small part of the overall military PSYOP is. There just aren't many people who know what we did, and therefore cannot appreciate the work that we did to save American and Allied lives. WELCOME TO POVA!
Join POVA and reconnect with your fellow PSYOP veterans. Apply, select your member option and pay your dues online, and you’re “home” with us.

When you wear the uniform of today’s Psywarrior, you are one of us. Only POVA recognizes your service to our Nation by offering you free membership for the entire duration of your military service. Simply stated:
Active duty & Reserve PSYOP unit members receive FREE membership until discharged or retired.

We all know that there are veterans on the streets who are in dire straits. POVA is raising funds to allow us to work with existing organizations focused on helping our fellow veterans.
Want to help? Make a tax-deductible contribution to POVA, and we’ll put the money right where it needs to go.
“Today’s PSYOP soldiers have technologies we could only dream of, equipment we couldn’t even imagine in Viet-Nam. What we all shared, though, was the knowledge that getting our message through was critical. Getting the right message to the right people on time was crucial…..that takes bright, trained, and committed soldiers. Nobody does it better than our PSYOP soldiers!”
