CROSS ORDERS

1. a type of dev-t where juniors issue so many orders unknown to a senior and across his lines that a senior's orders are obscured or lost. Things get very confused, very active but non-productive. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69) 2. senior orders unattended because of different junior orders. (HCO PL 24 Feb 69) 3. (form of arbitrary) the receipt of a communication is an extremely important part of the sequence of actions that results in a compliance. Common reasons for the non-receipt of a communication is that arbitraries (or arbitrary factors) exist in the area. Cross-order means an order received from a local person who is junior to the originator of the order or policy that is to be duplicated and complied with, which is contrary to the senior order but is not cancelled (as it should be) in favor of the senior order.
