A military unit deploys overseas. When they arrive, the enemy has already set the stage. Fake GPS signals push civilian traffic and some convoys onto the wrong roads. Decoy radios and corrupted apps fool their sensors into thinking certain routes are safe. Phone and app data leaks reveal where their forces are moving. Enemy-backed lawsuits close air transportation corridors and block access to key areas. Small armed drones circle and strike along the obvious, well-known routes, and fake directions steer vehicles into planned ambushes.
Online rumors and deep-fake videos turn the local populace against them, so permits and cooperation are delayed or denied altogether. Soldiers are attacked, equipment is destroyed, and the mission falls apart. The enemy won the important fight in courts, online, and on phones before soldiers faced each other. They were too late to challenge it and paid the price. Is the U.S. setting the conditions, or letting them be set against it?
