Military Deception
During a search of an al-Qaeda member's home, police in the U.K. uncovered what is now called "The al-Qaeda Training Manual", that instructs its members on various forms of deception, including forgeries, "blending in", hiding places, etc. including the use of covers to blend into the terrorist area of operation (usually cities with large civilian populations). Most of the MILDEC terrorists use focuses on concealing activities rather than leading adversaries down a false path.

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or deception:
“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
