Deception operations are strategic activities designed to mislead an adversary about one's intentions, capabilities, or actions. These operations can involve misinformation, camouflage, or other tactics to create a false narrative, often used in military contexts to gain a tactical advantage. The goal is to confuse the enemy and manipulate their decision-making processes. Such operations can also be found in intelligence and cybersecurity, where entities may use deceptive techniques to protect sensitive information or misdirect potential threats. Successful deception operations require careful planning and execution to ensure that the intended message is effectively communicated and believed by the target.
