They used a combination of different ways of visual, sonic and radio deception to convince the enemy of the presence of specific Army units that were in fact operating elsewhere. The unit included a large number of visual artists and designers who documented their experiences in paintings and sketches. The material employed in the 23rd Army Headquarters Special Troops' operations included decoys such as inflatable rubber tanks and jeeps as well as powerful loudspeaker trucks playing sound recordings of troop activity.

Critical ReactionThe Ghost Army received overwhelmingly positive reviews. It scored a Metascore of 79 on Metacritic.com.[2] David Weigand at the San Francisco Chronicle called it a "mesmerizing documentary," going on to say: "You could call it a kind of World War II version of Argo and it makes for a documentary that is almost as gripping as Ben Affleck's film."[3] Robert Lloyd at The Los Angeles Times called it "fascinating, detailed and oddly delightful." [4] Matt Roush of TV Guide called it "remarkable and memorable…first-rate…entrancing."[5] Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal commented: "The unit's work was top secret, its members' experiences, recounted in this film, fascinating above all for what they tell about the determined inventiveness, the all-out ambition to try everything, characteristic of that war effort."[6] Washington Post and New York Daily News critics both called the documentary "fascinating." Mark Feeney at the Boston Globe praised the film while offering a rare note of criticism: "The Ghost Army" can feel a bit padded at times. Like one of those rubber tanks, it's not as imposing as it seems. But also like those tanks, it's memorable and not quite like anything else."[7]See also
