Andrew Garfield worked at the Lincoln Group the PR firm which undertakes psyops in Iraq. It isa difficult to find any trace of Grafields role at the Lincoln Group, but here is an excerpt fromn a Wachington Post article:

The Lincoln Group even has a "senior director for insight and influence." His name is Andrew Garfield. Over lunch near the group's Pennsylvania Avenue offices, he also tries to steer the lexicon at play around the table and to clarify what he calls the "tradecraft" of "influence."
Take "psyops," for instance. That's short for "psychological operations." Like the word "propaganda," it, too, conjures mystery, deception.
But that's not what the Lincoln Group does, says Garfield. The company has been contracted by a psyops division of the U.S. military, but Garfield insists that Lincoln's work cannot be considered psyops. That word, Garfield protests, refers to a military operation. And Garfield is very familiar with military psyops, as he is a former British military and intelligence official who regularly teaches a course at the U.S. Army base at Fort Bragg -- a course on . . . psyops.

Garfiled's role at Lincoln seems not to be evident onj the cwebsite of the Lincoldn Group, even in the versions to be found on the Web Archive.
