Abstract

Given modern warfare’s complex and dynamic nature, military deception has become a vital tool in the contemporary operating environment for gaining strategic advantage and achieving operational success. For this reason, countering enemy deception operations has become an operational requirement to support mission accomplishment. Furthermore, with the increased use of modern technologies and information warfare tactics by adversaries, intelligence has become a critical asset in countering enemy deception operations and protecting the safety and security of military personnel and operations. The Russian-Ukrainian
ongoing war has proven once again that deception remains a viable tool in the contemporary operating environment and can still have a huge impact on the battlefield. Considering its value, this article explores approaches to diminish and counter the impact of deception at the operational level of war. Moreover, our research explores how the joint function of intelligence can support the efforts of counter-deception throughout its entire process.
