N2  - Culture plays a crucial role in the military, helping the armed forces achieve their goals. However, cultural issues can negatively affect personnel's well-being and effectiveness, especially when there is a "clash" between military and other cultures. The literature suggests there should be more training and education on individual service cultures, as well as other countries' military cultures to improve cooperation and coordination during joint operations and working in multinational forces. A greater knowledge of local cultures may help avoid offending noncombatants. When deployment ends, service personnel need more support when they transition back to civilian culture.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
