Answer 1

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the biggest challenges for any deployed military personnel that involved with cross-cultural negotiations in the country where they are been deployed with respect to the cultural context is usually based on how the parties define time and for the former to be aware of cross-cultural differences within the host country couple with the way they negotiate because cultural differences and expectations are challenges to the negotiation process. These challenges are usually solved with the use of an indigenous mediator, translator etc who act as go in between the parties. However, after a relationship has been established, personnel who were involved in the cultural negotiation are normally redeployed to another assignment which creates a lapse, because time and effort are placed on developing relationships during the initial, process but then the process almost needs to start over again when new people rotate into the operation.
