About The Human Terrain System: Operationally Relevant Social Science Research in Iraq and Afghanistan

The Human Terrain System embedded civilians primarily in brigade combat teams (BCTs) in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2007 and 2014 to act as a collection and dispersal mechanism for sociocultural comprehension. Set against the backdrop of the program’s evolution, the experiences of these social scientists clarifies the U.S. Army’s decision to integrate social scientists at the tactical level in conflict. Based on interviews, program documents, material from Freedom of Information Act requests, and secondary sources, this book finds a series of limiting factors inhibiting social science research at the tactical level, common to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Complexity in integrating civilians into the military decision-making cycle, in creating timely research with a high level of fidelity, and in making granular research that resonated with brigade staff all contributed to inhibiting the overall effect of the Human Terrain System. Yet, while high operational tempo in contested spaces complicates social science research at the tactical level, the author argues that there is a continued requirement for a residual capability to be maintained by the U.S. Army.  Related items:Other resources produced by the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/agency/1609Weapon of Choice: U.S. Army Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-029-00431-3Counterinsurgency Leadership in Afghanistan, Iraq and Beyond can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-046-00274-6Surging South of Baghdad: The 3d Infantry Division and Task Force MARNE in Iraq, 2007-2008 can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-029-00522-1Iraq and Persian Gulf Wars collection can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/catalog/us-military-history/battles-wars/iraq-persian-gulf-warsTraining Humans for the Human Domain  can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01173-7Paid to Perform: Aligning Total Military Compensation With Talent Management can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/node/49300/editThe Effective Use of Reserve Personnel in the U.S. Military: Lessons From The United Kingdom Reserve Model can be found at this link: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01100-1Afghanistan War collection can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/catalog/us-military-history/wars-conflicts/afghanistan-war
