| SECTION II. — TERMS AND DEFINITIONS |
automated identification technology. A family of technologies that support source data automation through various media to facilitate the rapid collection, consolidation, storage, and retrieval of data to and from Army management systems. It includes process control hardware, application software, and hybrids that provide industry-standard real-time data acquisition to enhance productivity. It includes bar codes, radio frequency identification, magnetic strips, smart cards, and optical memory cards.
combat service support. The essential capabilities, functions, activities, and tasks necessary to sustain all elements of operating forces in theater at all levels of war. Within the national and theater logistics systems, it includes but is not limited to that support rendered by service forces in ensuring the aspects of supply, maintenance, transportation, health services, and other services required by aviation and ground combat troops to permit those units to accomplish their missions in combat. Combat service support encompasses those activities at all levels of war that produce sustainment to all operating forces on the battlefield. Also called CSS. (JP 1-02)

cross servicing. That function performed by one Military Service in support of another Military Service for which reimbursement is required from the Service receiving support. (JP 1-02)
distribution. From a logistics perspective distribution is: a. That functional phase of military logistics that embraces the act of dispensing materiel, facilities, and services. b. An official delivery of anything, such as orders or supplies. c. The process of assigning military personnel to activities, units, or billets. (JP 1-02)

executive agent. A term used in DOD and Service regulations to indicate a delegation of authority by a superior to a subordinate to act on behalf of the superior. An agreement between equals does not create an executive agent. For example, a Service cannot become a DOD executive agent for a particular matter with simply the agreement of the other Services; such authority must be delegated by the Secretary of Defense. Designation as executive agent, in and of itself, confers no authority. The exact nature and scope of the authority delegated must be stated in the document designating the executive agent. An executive agent may be limited to providing only administration and support or coordinating common functions, or it may be delegated authority, direction, and control over specified resources for specified purposes. (JP 1-02)

Also called FM. (JP 1-02)
