Combat service support command relationship used when the nature of the operation makes a complete transfer of administrative command impossible or uneconomical because of time, distance, or resources. The function(s) not transferred will be stated (eg, "personnel administration"). The gaining commander has full authority and responsibility for all other service support activities. Exclusion of a function does not preclude the gaining unit or formation from providing advice or, in an emergency, support in the excluded activity. Otherwise the parent unit or formation must provide support in the area of the excluded function. 2, record 1, English, - under%20command%20for%20administration%20less%2E%2E%2E

En matière de soutien, statut de commandement employé lorsque la nature de l'opération rend impossible ou trop coûteux le transfert intégral du commandement administratif compte tenu des facteurs temps, distance et ressources. Les sphères de responsabilité qui ne sont pas transférées sont spécifiées, par exemple «l'administration du personnel». Le commandant bénéficiaire jouit alors des pleins pouvoirs et assume la responsabilité pour toutes les autres activités de soutien. L'exclusion d'une sphère de responsabilité n'empêche pas l'unité ou la formation bénéficiaire de donner son avis ou, en cas d'urgence, de fournir le soutien dans le domaine dont elles ont été exclues. Si elles ne sont pas en mesure de le faire, l'unité ou la formation-mère fournira alors le soutien pour le domaine laissé de côté. 2, record 1, French, - en%20sous%2Dordre%20pour%20l%27administration%20sauf%2E%2E%2E
