The Army Service Cross is the third-highest military decoration of Aquitayne. It is issued for exceptional bravery in combat while serving in the Aquitaynian Army. Actions required for the issuance of the reward must separate the individual from the rest of their unit, but does not go so far as warrant the issuance of the Urimanus Cross or Elizabeth Cross.
