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:
“The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Perhaps there are only a few women who experience without deception the overwhelming intoxication of the senses which they expect from their encounters with men, which they feel bound to expect because of the fuss made about it in novels, written by men.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
