deception operation
Mil., Logist.	Operation designed at a high echelon, aimed at misleading the opponent to force him to take arrangements which he will be unable to change on time, in order to either go back to his initial intended maneuver or to counter the one we intend to launch against him. The success of such an operation requires: 1. the simulation of a friendly maneuver, fictitious but credible and detectable for the opponent; 2. the hiding of all or part of the actual maneuver; 3. the control of the operation’s effects over the enemy.
