THE CONTRIBUTION OF DECEPTION TO PLANNING AND CARRYING OUT THE CAMPAIGN (IV)

Summary/Abstract: The issue of deception in relation to military campaigns is treated in the article. In this context, deception in different types of warfare is analysed. Thus, attrition warfare, manoeuvre warfare and moral warfare are discussed. The author concludes that deception results in the relative advantage that, effectively capitalised on, can determine the operation success. Moreover, deception significantly contributes to the erosion of the adversary morale and will to fight. That is why, it is necessary, in the author’s opinion, that deception should be studied, understood and approached systemically, as well as included in the planning process at all levels.
