- W1553133023 abstract "In the documentary Human Terrain: War Becomes Academic, the filmmakers trace two collateral arcs. One is about the Human Terrain System (HTS) project that is led by the U.S. Army. This project embeds social scientists with combat troops in Afghanistan and Iraq to obtain sociocultural data on local populations that can be used in military decision making. The second arc is about a young anthropologist, Michael Bhatia, who joins the HTS project and whose story ends tragically. In the prelude to this film we hear the framing questions: What are the objectives here? What is the why?

That demands subtlety and where, in the case of this sort of training, not only does the senior leadership need to put on the mantle of diplomacy, but so does the young corporal.” In “Part II: War Becomes Academic,” we see the tension that social scientists, particularly anthropologists, are struggling with in this program. The conversation turns to the changes in the nature of war and how the U.S. military is trying to deal with the new reality of counterinsurgency. One of the architects of the HTS project, Montgomery McFate, states that this project to reform the military grew out of a" @default.
