Human Terrain System (HTS) students practice engaging with and interviewing members of a foreign culture 31 March 2012 during the
Research Operations Exercise conducted at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The exercise was the capstone assessment activity for the training
program prior to student graduation and deployment. HTS trainers found that the more realistic and engaging the training, the better
the students retained and applied their new skills to their in-theater jobs.
