	Theater (warfare) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typically, in order to be considered multiple theatres in a single conflict, at least one of the nations involved must be participating in multiple theatres; without this, each area is considered a separate war.
		This war had at least three separate theatres: European, Pacific, and African, though the last is considered by some military historians to be an adjunct of the European Theatre.
		The term "theatre of operations" was defined in the [American] field manuals as the land and sea areas to be invaded or defended, including areas necessary for administrative activities incident to the military operations (chart 12).

	Ghosts of the ETO, American Tactical Deception Units in the European Theatre of Operations, 1994-1945 - Book Review ...
		This veil was lifted during 1996, when information was declassified regarding these deception operations and the Army organization that--for the first time in the history of warfare--was created to execute tactical deception operations as its full-time mission.

		This new concept of tactical deception originated in the ETO as a result of a study initiated by General Devers, then the commanding general, which analyzed Field Marshal Montgomery's use of deception at the battle of El Alemein.
