Duty Roster

REFERENCES• AR 220-45 Duty Roster dtd 15 Nov 1975

PURPOSE• Duty rosters are kept for recording the duty

performed by each person in an organization in order to make an equitable determination of duty assignments.

• A separate roster generally will be maintained for each duty requiring the detail of individuals.

5

PREPARATION & MAINTENANCE

• Duty rosters will contain the names of only those persons required to perform the duty involved.

• When a new duty roster is prepared, all names will be entered alphabetically within pay grade, beginning with the highest pay grade and using appropriate grade of rank. Subsequent names will be added at the foot of the roster.

• A person’s name may be omitted or deleted from any duty roster whenever he/she is excused from or not qualified to perform the duty concerned.

6

DETAILS FROM DUTY ROSTERS

• Generally, the person longest off the duty will be the next person detailed. When such person is not available, the person on the roster who is next longest off that duty will be detailed.

• Whenever a person who has been detailed for a duty is unable to enter upon or complete the duty, the next person eligible on the applicable duty roster who is available will be detailed to perform or complete the duty.

7

POSTING THE DUTY ROSTER• A duty roster is posted only for those days on which a detail is selected. The

procedures described below will be used on all duty rosters.– When a detail is made from a roster, all other persons on that roster will be charged

on that day with the number of such details missed since the last time they were detailed, excluding any nonchargeable days.

• Whenever the duty roster is posted, the abbreviations below will be used to indicate those not available for detail. No other abbreviations are authorized.– Those who are absent or otherwise not available because of leave, pass, special

duty, temporary duty, illness in line of duty, or any other authorized reason not due to misconduct will be indicated by the letter “A.”

• TDY travel that does not extend beyond regular duty hours will not normally qualify an individual for an “A.”

– Those eligible for detail who could not be selected because of previous detail or other duty will be indicated by the letter “D.”

– Those not available because of being absent without leave, in arrest, in confinement, sick not in line of duty, or otherwise not available as a result of their own misconduct will be indicated by the letter “U.”

• Wherever the abbreviation “A” is used, the numbering sequence of days will be interrupted. Wherever the abbreviations “D” & “U” are used, the numbering sequence will continue and the appropriate number will be included with the abbreviation.

WEEKENDS & HOLIDAYS

• Consolidated weekday-weekend-holiday duty rosters will be maintained whenever practicable.

10

DETAILS FROM UNITS

• Whenever practicable, details from units will be formed by taking units in turn according to one roster (DA Form 6 may be used by listing unit designations in the place of individual names).

• When not practicable, a commander may devise his own method of assigning details to units. Appendix B, FM 22–6 gives examples of some methods that may be employed. However, it is emphasized that commanders may use whatever system best meets their needs as long as equity is maintained.
