History of the IrregularChat Community

In 2021, Trish, the Group S8 at the time, established the Innovation and Evolution Council (IEC) within the 4th PSYOP Group to harness insights directly from the team level for U.S. Army and SOF modernization. This initiative sparked numerous collaborative projects, including writing groups and the formation of the 4th PSYOP Group Operational Skills Detachment (OSD). To enhance OSD’s capabilities, it became necessary to collaborate with experts in Cyber, Special Forces (SF), and Electronic Warfare (EW) from outside the 4th PSYOP Group. Consequently, Trish and Sac started IrregularChat.

Originating from the 18 initial members of the IEC, IrregularChat quickly expanded, attracting Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel who were independently pursuing innovative projects and sought a community of like-minded professionals. The platform facilitated an unprecedented exchange of ideas and practices across the SOF community.
