Military Deception in the Contact Layer Through Perception Management

Abstract

The Marine Corps is not currently training or equipping intelligence analysts and deception planners to effectively create the desired perceptions through exploitation of cognitive biases or the conduit analysis framework to create effective military deception operations that will contribute to military forces competing in the contact layer. The creation of the Marine Expeditionary Force Information Groups (MIGs) is a step in the right direction to achieve parity with our peer adversaries' capabilities and the right structure for a Perception Management Working Group (PMWG). Investments in both COTS applications and equipment designed for predictive analysis and advanced training in psychology will enhance to effectiveness of the PMWG and deception operations.
