Default Service Commands

In the US Government scheme of things, Service Commands were organisations that took over military / admin duties in an area when the units that were based there were posted overseas, things like recruitment and family admin and so on.

I ran across them as so many of the old interesting Dodges left in the USA were oddbal military types or civilian used by the military, in Service Command setups. Both my WC36 trucks were 8th Service Command based in Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

They covered the whole of the US and Alaska, I wasn't aware they existed outside the continental US but it might make sense if this was the admin organisation for, say, the Nile Delta area or whatever was the Tunisian equivalent?
