Long Live Pakistan ( Madina e Sani )
"Many times we receive taunts from the idiots that why we waste our times on Facebook. They call us Facebook jihadis trying to insult our work.
They do not understand the nature of our work - we lead and manage a coordinated cyber, social media attack team to build counter narrative against the enemies to defend Pakistan.
Where ISI, ISPR/ GHQ Lacks:
This is a vital information warfare axis of the modern warfare. ISI did not do it. ISPR did not do it. GHQ did not do it. So we took it upon ourselves to fight this war, defending the army, Pakistan, our ideology and developing the counter narrative to destroy the enemy. We destroy their propaganda, expose the enemies, support our own armed forces and give hope to the nation.
What is BrassTacks:
BrassTacks is the cyber and media warfare arm of Pakistan. Being a facebook warrior is NOT a taunt in these times. This is a new non-lethal mode of warfare in which BrassTacks is the cutting edge of national defense, alhamdolillah !
Need of the Hour:
But now, this must be done at official levels by the government and the armed forces. Building an organized potent counter narrative and deploying it in support of ground operations is as necessary as having ammo in the guns..
So far, BrassTacks is firing for the army… and taking heavy return fire.
Now read what the British army is planning to do !! Now you will understand the importance of our work. Source Link"

The British army is creating a special force of Facebook warriors:
The British army is creating a special force of Facebook warriors, skilled in psychological operations and use of social media to engage in unconventional warfare in the information age.
The 77th Brigade, to be based in Hermitage, near Newbury, in Berkshire, will be about 1,500-strong and formed of units drawn from across the army. It will formally come into being in April.
The brigade will be responsible for what is described as non-lethal warfare. Both the Israeli and US army already engage heavily in psychological operations.
Against a background of 24-hour news, smartphones and social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, the force will attempt to control the narrative.
The 77th will include regulars and reservists and recruitment will begin in the spring. Soldiers with journalism skills and familiarity with social media are among those being sought.
The move is partly a result of experience in counter-insurgency operations in Afghanistan. It can also be seen as a response to events of the last year that include Russia’s actions in Ukraine, in particular Crimea, and Islamic State’s (Isis) takeover of large swaths of Syria and Iraq.
The Israel Defence Forces have pioneered state military engagement with social media, with dedicated teams operating since Operation Cast Lead, its war in Gaza in 2008-9. The IDF is active on 30 platforms – including Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram – in six languages. “It enables us to engage with an audience we otherwise wouldn’t reach,” said an Israeli army spokesman.
