На протяжении многих веков человечество втягивалось в бесконечное множество войн и конфликтов. Ведение боевых действий всегда порождает объективную потребность в изучении будущего театра военных действий путем интеграции культурного понимания в планирование, подготовку и проведение военных операций. Опыт США может быть наиболее полезен, поскольку именно американская социология стояла у истоков военной социологии. Конфликтная реальность настоящего заставляет российское научное сообщество консолидироваться и обратиться, в том числе и к зарубежному опыту, в котором социальным наукам отводится особое место, а их социокультурный потенциал открывает новые горизонты для познавательной и исследовательской деятельности.Цель ‒ представить возможности взаимодействия социальных наук и Министерства обороны США при реализации исследовательских проектов «Камелот», «Системы человеческого ландшафта» и «Миневра».Задачи: охарактеризовать значение культурного фактора при ведении боевых действий; определить плюсы и минусы «культурного поворота» в стратегии и тактике ведения боевых действий армии США; проиллюстрировать меры социальной поддержки ветеранов боевых действий.Методология. В основу научного поиска положен социокультурный подход, императивы которого позволили представить практики взаимодействия социальных наук с органами управления армии США.Результаты. Охарактеризованы основные социальные проекты, выявившие причины неудач в военных конфликтах с участием армии США и составившие основу «культурного поворота» в отношениях социальных наук и армии. Показано, что особое место при проведении социологических исследований отводится ветеранам боевых действий.Выводы. Использование междисциплинарного подхода в русле социокультурной методологии позволяет интегрировать социальные науки в военные исследования и найти наиболее эффективные решения, адаптированные к специфике каждого военного конфликта.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Relevance. For many centuries, humanity has been drawn into an endless number of wars and conflicts. The conduct of military operations always creates an objective need to study the future theater of war by integrating cultural understanding into the planning, preparation, and execution of military operations. The experience of the United States can be particularly useful, as American sociology was at the forefront of military sociology. The conflictual reality of the present is forcing the Russian scientific community to consolidate and turn to foreign experience, in which social sciences are given a special place, and their sociocultural potential opens up new horizons for cognitive and research activities.The purpose s to present the possibilities of interaction between social sciences and the U.S. Department of Defense in the implementation of research projects such as Camelot, Human Landscape Systems, and Minerva.Objectives: to characterize the significance of the cultural factor in warfare; to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the "cultural turn" in the strategy and tactics of the U.S. Army's warfare; and to illustrate the measures of social support for combat veterans.The methodology is based on a sociocultural approach, which allowed us to present the practices of interaction between social sciences and the U.S. Army's management bodies.Results. The article describes the main social projects that identified the causes of failures in military conflicts involving the U.S. Army and formed the basis for the "cultural turn" in the relationship between social sciences and the military. It shows that combat veterans play a special role in conducting sociological research.Conclusions. The use of an interdisciplinary approach based on sociocultural methodology allows for the integration of social sciences into military research and the development of effective solutions tailored to the specific characteristics of each military conflict.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>военная культура</kwd><kwd>армия США</kwd><kwd>«Камелот»</kwd><kwd>«Системы человеческого ландшафта»</kwd><kwd>«Миневра»</kwd><kwd>ветераны боевых действий</kwd><kwd>социальные программы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>military culture</kwd><kwd>U.S. Army</kwd><kwd>Camelot</kwd><kwd>Human Landscape Systems</kwd><kwd>Minerva</kwd><kwd>combat veterans</kwd><kwd>social programs</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Iacobucci A., Downey L.
