Military officials could not say where in the Persian Gulf the shipment from Europe was headed, or if it was part of a rotation of equipment.

 GAO-03-939R, Foreign Military Sales: Air Force Does Not Use Controls to Prevent Spare Parts Containing Sensitive ...
However, this control could also be used to identify for foreign military sales case managers[Footnote 4] review spare parts that contain sensitive military technology and that the Air Force does not want to release to foreign countries ineligible to receive them.
Requisitions for spare parts related to significant military equipment and major defense equipment are processed as defined orders, which cover specific items and quantities and which provide for security reviews and item identification.
Conclusion: Because the Air Force has no means to identify spare parts containing sensitive military technology that it may determine should not be released to certain foreign countries and it does not have internal controls in place to prevent the release of the parts, such releases are occurring.

 Military decoy - Inflatable Military Decoy Camouflage Dummy Target
With the advancement of spying and detecting technology and precision guided weapons, all targets in the battlefield have become more and more vulnerable even with the use of camouflage techniques.
Unlike traditional camouflage, the purpose of decoys is not to conceal forces and equipment, but to divert the enemy from the actual target, which is a proactive defensive strategy in modern war.
Military decoys, simulated or dummy targets, can effectively deceive the enemy, reduce damage to real equipment and fortifications, enhance survivability and gain the initiative in battle.

The Iraq War was supposed to be a preview of the new U.S. military: a light, swift force that relies as much on sensors and communications networks as on heavy armor and huge numbers.
The battle was a fairly conventional fight between tanks and other armored vehicles -- almost a throwback to an earlier era of war fighting, especially when viewed against the bloody chaos of the subsequent insurgency.
The same verdict was delivered after the first Gulf War's ground battle, but experts had hoped the more robust technology used in the 2003 conflict would solve the problem.
