Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anthropologists were recruited to predict enemy behavior and to help translate language and culture, as understanding the culture and language of the enemy can provide a significant advantage during wars. Anthropologists were not typically involved in interrogating prisoners or designing military training. While analyzing officer command structures may be relevant to military strategy, it was not a primary duty of anthropologists during the war effort.
