At the Limits of Knowledge – Human Terrain System
Journal Title: Securitologia - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1
Abstract
Armed conflict is a human enterprise such that, by extension, understanding of the human dimension in a given area of operations should be thought integral to plan- ning successful operations. Human Terrain System (HTS) was the most expensive social science program in history – the US Army’s has quietly come to an end. During its ten years of existence, the controversial program cost tax payers more than $ 725 million. The Pentagon distributed much of the funding to two large defense firms that became the HTS’s principal contractors: BAE Systems and CGI Federal.<br/><br/>
