Abstract [en]

Throughout history amphibious operations has had high requirements for the landing force to use deception strategies to reduce resistance during landing. Studies have been conducted on individual amphibious operations, and it shows that deception is an important factor in reducing resistance during landing. However, there is limited understanding of how deception was conducted during the amphibious operations Chromite and Sutton. Therefore, this study aims to increase the understanding of how deceptions were conducted during these operations. The purpose of this study is to contribute more knowledge to the research on the use of deception in amphibious operations. More specifically, the study will aim to increase the understanding of deception in Operation Chromite and Operation Sutton. The results of this study have shown how deceptions were carried out, including the use of terrain, civilian vessels, chaff clouds, and special forces to simulate a larger force landing at a fictitious location to confuse the enemy. The results also reveal deceptions that are commonly used in military contexts but also shows various types of deceptions that demonstrate innovative and creative solutions for how deceptions can be conducted.
