Creating meaningful visualizations of multi-dimensional human, social, cultural, and behavioral (HSCB) data will provide greater insights to operational decision makers across a large variety of problem domains. Developing and deploying visualization tools presents a variety of challenges to the analytic community, and these are further compounded when presenting information on the non-traditional dimensions of the battlefield encompassed by HSCB domain. Given that the center of gravity in Irregular Warfare is the population, the need for battlefield commanders to understand this information in operationally relevant ways is clear. Here we provide an overview of the challenges in providing visual displays of HSCB data for decision support, and the methods chosen for communicating the output of a social simulation. We use the Cultural Geography model as an example of a social simulation with accompanying visualizations, discuss the importance of display configurations, and propose several paths forward for future work in HSCB data visualization.
