Anathomy of Hostage Rescue

d. Deception 
Similar to surprise, the deception principle was considered, but only as a 
quick means to end the siege. The deception plan was not synchronized with the rest of 
the rescue operation and was not tied into the intelligence collection or tactical assault 
plan. The first deception effort came with the emergency assault plan, by dressing the 
police officers in athlete’s outfits. The police chief considered a different approach by 
sending five undercover police officers to deliver meals to the terrorists, in hopes that 
they could storm the terrorists once they came out to pick up the food. This did not work 


161 
because the terrorists never allowed the officers to come close to the apartment. At the 
airfield, the airplane used was a dummy aircraft and the personnel dressed as Lufthansa 
crewmembers did not have the complete uniforms to make their plan believable. When 
the men on the plane decided to abort their portion of the plan, the rest of the operation 
fell to pieces (Reeve, 2000, p. 112).
There was no diversion planned during the most critical event in the 
operation—the transload from the helicopters to the airplane. The deception during this 
phase should have been centered in trying to separate the terrorists from the hostages, 
specifically when considering an open-air option. Overall, some deceptive measures 
were considered but not synchronized properly with the rest of the hostage rescue 
principles and the overall tactical plan.
