Operation Camelot was an operation run by the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency that funded anthropological research. The research was then used to further the goals of the United States government. The project used social scientists in research whose objective was to determine the feasibility of developing a general social systems model which would make it possible to predict and influence politically significant aspects of social change in the developing nations of the world.. Operation Camelot was based at American University in Washington, DC.
