Cross-Service Support 

Type - Term
Description: Cross-Service Support is the required set of operational controls implemented by Human Resources Management (HRM) to comply with Cross-Service Support legal, regulatory, policy and performance requirements. The controls take the form of terms and conditions established by the OUSD P&R and consist of levels of HRM Cross-Service Support. One level is the ability to provide personnel and pay management support to all military members assigned to a unit, even when the commander belongs to a different military service than one or more of the members. Another level is the ability to provide specified HRM functions to service members not assigned to a unit but may be in an area where support from their own unit is not readily or efficiently available. Cross-Service Support increases the effectiveness of combined operations by reducing a service member's administrative time away from duty.
