  electromagnetic transmissions. Consequently, commanders must be aware of the various types of energy
  radiating from their C2 systems, aircraft, and sustainment nodes. Commanders must ensure their units take
  efforts to mitigate or lessen electromagnetic signatures whenever possible.
  SECTION VI – AVIATION IN DECEPTION PLANNING
  1-83. As part of the information environment, it is important to consider deception operations, especially
  during planning. Aviation contributions to the higher headquarters plan most often consist of standard
  tactical tasks conducted for an alternate purpose. Deception planning is an inherent part of nesting
  operations with higher echelons. ATP 3-04. 1 addresses deception operations as part of development of the
  concept of operations, within company mission planning products to support the higher headquarters,
  within the company maneuver planning cell as part of understanding the ground tactical plan, and within
  the company protection and contingency mission planning cell.
  1-84. In addition to deception planning nested with higher, aviation units routinely incorporate deception
  planning at the lowest echelons as part of internal survivability and protection risk mitigation measures.
  Examples of deception in routine aviation mission planning include, but are not limited to—
  * False landing or pickup zones.
  * Deception routes that include flying multiple alternate routes.
  * Deception fires that include deception suppression of enemy air defense, feints, or conducting
  false task organization movements.
  1-85. Deception in aviation mission planning both supports the higher headquarters deception plan and
  decreases tactical risk by improving survivability during mission execution.
