Any military tacticians here?
Hey guys,
Is there a specific term, or best known case for when the occupying army "concedes" to the weaker guerrilla army? Idea being the hidden
leaders will show themselves in public so you can gather information for a later suprise attack. Thinking along the lines of the last two
Isreal/Palestine conflicts. Also remember a Roman emporer (Diocletian?) saying the rebels won, then slaughtering them in an arena.
Anyhow, just curious if there is a specific term for that.
Cheers.

Some food for thought under these
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betrayal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_deception
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambush
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfidy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feint
I'd have said Feint Retreat is the closest in spirit to what you are describing, but it's more a military strategy than the more political
one you describe.

In terms of real ops, it would fall under the banner of a deception manouvre (smoke and mirrors), followed by a disrupt and destroy phase (ambush).
It's actually far more difficult to pull of than you'd expect - really easy to recognise a poor deception plan if you know what
you'r looking for

The Americans got the first half of this tactic right, they called it Vietnam.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
