Security Cooperation is an instrument that enables the generation of strategic deception by potentially confusing rival nations about what the U.S. interests and objectives are or even causing that rival to expend unnecessary resources. The United States Army is the service best postured to support combatant commanders to develop and execute strategic deception through cooperation. Executing any form of strategic deception entails a level of risk to reputation but provides the United States an invaluable tool in a geopolitical environment in which competition below levels of conflict has become the norm. </div> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/jrnl/art/competing-through-deception-expanding-utility-security-cooperation-great-power-competition" rel="tag" title="Competing through Deception: Expanding the Utility of Security Cooperation for Great Power Competition" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about Competing through Deception: Expanding the Utility of Security Cooperation for Great Power Competition</span></a></li><li class="comment-comments"><a href="/jrnl/art/competing-through-deception-expanding-utility-security-cooperation-great-power-competition#comments" title="Jump to the first comment." hreflang="en">2 comments</a></li><li class="comment-new-comments"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1626/feed" class="hidden" title="Jump to the first new comment." data-history-node-last-comment-timestamp="1632299925" data-history-node-field-name="comment"></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li><li></li></ul> Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:46:29 +0000 Riley.C.Murray 139672 at http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/deception-pervasive-and-elemental-force <article data-history-node-id="82708" role="article" class="article teaser clearfix"> <h2> <a href="/index.php/jrnl/art/deception-pervasive-and-elemental-force" rel="bookmark"><span>Deception as a Pervasive and Elemental Force</span> </a> </h2> <footer> <article> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="masquerade.callbacks:renderCacheLink" arguments="0=4" token="2JcDkyvoNdz7AbcUTZXDTgfSvABuLH-TUc0jYOzfCs0"></drupal-render-placeholder></article> <div class="author"> <span>Wed, 01/17/2018 - 12:28am</span> </div> </footer> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p> The purpose of this short review is to present a different concept of deception - that it should be viewed as a pervasive and elemental force in operations.</p> </div> <ul class="links inline list-inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/index.php/jrnl/art/deception-pervasive-and-elemental-force" rel="tag" title="Deception as a Pervasive and Elemental Force" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about Deception as a Pervasive and Elemental Force</span></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li><li></li></ul> <h2>About the Author(s)</h2> <div class="views-element-container form-group"></div> </div> </article> Wed, 17 Jan 2018 05:28:29 +0000 SWJED 82708 at http://archive.smallwarsjournal.com
