Secondment

The warrant officer in the khaki shirt is an instructor who has been seconded from the Royal Anglian Regiment to the Bermuda Regiment to provide training

Secondment is the assignment of a member of one organisation to another organisation for a temporary period. The employee typically retains their salary and other employment rights from their primary organisation but they work closely within the other organisation to provide training and the sharing of experience.[1] This is not to be confused with temporary work.

For example, statisticians from the Government Statistical Service may be assigned to the Full Fact charity, to check statistics presented in political campaigns and the mass media.[2]
