MILDEC employs three basic means: physical, technical, and administrative. Employ these means independently or in collaboration depending on the situation. The applications of tactics vary with each operation depending on variables such as time, assets, equipment, and objectives and are assessed for feasibility accordingly. MILDEC operations apply four basic deception techniques: feints, demonstrations, ruses, and displays. MILDEC procedures vary with each MILDEC operation and are conducted in accordance with the commander’s guidance and the processes used to synchronize the tactics and techniques in real time.
