Print Dissemination Battalion

The Print Dissemination Battalion was established during the mid-20th century to support military operations through the rapid production and distribution of printed materials. Originally part of the broader Army Public Affairs or Psychological Operations branches, the battalion specialized in creating leaflets, field manuals, propaganda, and informational pamphlets for both friendly and enemy audiences. Throughout major conflicts such as the Korean War and Vietnam War, its personnel deployed mobile printing presses near the front lines, enabling timely delivery of orders, news, and morale-boosting content. Over time, advancements in technology shifted its mission toward digital communication, but the battalion's foundational role in shaping information warfare remains significant in modern military doctrine.
