[edit intro]

Military social science and the CZ: Military social science Subgroup deal with the interaction of the social and military sciences.

Military sociology[edit]

Some of the first consciously interdisciplinary works are in what we now call military sociology, such as Samuel Huntington's, The Soldier and the State, and Morris Janowitz's The Professional Soldier.

Military psychology[edit]

Modern training draws significantly from cognitive psychology and operant conditioning.

Psychological disorders from combat stress are now widely recognized, and not limited to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Military anthropology[edit]

Among the first works was Ruth Benedict's study of World War II Japan, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. As of 2009, the US Army uses the term Human Terrain System to describe military anthropology.^[1] However, the program was ending in September 2014.^[2]
