About

"A strong case can be made that, seen broadly, a major purpose of COMSEC—perhaps its overriding purpose—is to help achieve surprise by denying adversaries and enemies foreknowledge of our capabilities and intentions." David G. Boak Commanders surprise enemy forces by attacking at a time or place or in a manner for which enemy forces did not prepare for or expect. Commanders achieve surprise by showing enemy forces what they expect to see while actually doing something different. Surprise delays enemy reactions, overloads and confuses enemy command and control systems, induces psychological shock, and reduces the coherence of an enemy force's defense (ADP 3-90). Understanding the risk of surprise, enemies and adversaries will undertake intelligence activities to determine U.S. intentions.
