History of The Term
Culture, as a general idea involving the different habits of thinking and behavior, is evident throughout history, including in the writings of Homer, Herodotus, and the Chinese scholars of the Han dynasty. However, the term was not widely recognized in the west until the 19th century. Cultural Intelligence as a U.S. military term did not gain prominence until the late 20th century with the rise of low-intensity and counterinsurgency warfare. However, the importance of cultural intelligence has only recently become commonly accepted with the counterinsurgency campaigns the U.S. has conducted in Afghanistan and Iraq.

—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
