Architecture, food, consumer and cultural products, relationships, routines, and more are used to cultivate this feeling of home, improve morale, and maximize military capacity. Yet personnel have their own ideas of home that may or may not be compatible with the “home” the military provides. Either way, these feelings have political and material consequences, not only within the military or even within the US, but at a global scale. Funding: Leverhulme Trust Doctoral ScholarshipResearch
