The "Camouflage and Concealment Team" is a name I just made up, based on the concept of dedicated CCD (Camouflage, Concealment, and Deception) operations used in many Commonwealth and European military organisations.
Functionally though, it's based on the "Physical Signatures Team" of the Battlefield Deception Element that the US Army used to employ in Division-level intelligence units (I don't know if the US Army has retained the organisational concept with all the recent re-organisations they've been doing since 2001). A Physical Signatures Team is composed of at least one combat engineer, one combat arms sergeant (usually an infantryman, but occasionally a cavalry scout), and one imagery analyst. They're basically responsible for planning, organising, and directing physical deception operations. Physical deception, in this case, largely involves physical concealment of unit assets, the fabrication and emplacement of decoys, and the facilitation of feint movements. The team's role is more of a planning thing though, since the feints and decoy emplacement and whatnot will more often than not be directly conducted by an intelligence unit's recon/surveillance personnel, although members of the Phys Sig team will occasionally accompany those personnel in the field to provide expert guidance.
Their digital and electronic counterpart in the Battlefield Deception Element is the "Electronic Signatures Team" (which I've adapted and renamed in the GIJOE organisational outline as the more tech-y sounding "Electromagnetic Emanations Security Team"). The Electronic Signatures Team distorts and disguises specific electromagnetic emanations (i.e., the EM signatures emitted by particular equipment) so that they don't "look" like military-specific equipment to adversary ELINT interceptors/analysts. For example, a US Army ground station module would have a particular electromagnetic signature profile. Even if a ground station module is physically concealed or disguised to look like, say, a container van, its EM profile could still give it away. The Electronic Signatures Team's job is to ensure that the EM profile is sufficiently disguised/distorted so it remains hidden from electronic intercept equipment.
