List of 63 Army Additional Duties for Officers and NCOs
What I’d like to do in today’s post is provide a list of 63 Army Additional Duties for Army Officers and NCOs . I’ve compiled this list by referring to different regulations and websites online. I have no idea if it is 100% current or accurate, or if I have covered every single additional duty possible. However, I do believe this is a good starting point if you are looking for a list of Army Additional Duties at the company and battalion level.
Being an NCO leader in the Army is relatively easy. In the Army, we have standards for everything we do, and they guide our daily activities. We have standards for training, safety, leading, fighting, recovery , inspection—the trick is, of course, knowing what the standards are, or at least knowing where to find what the standards are. ~ Association of the United States Army

It is the duty of the squad/section/ team leader to account for his soldiers and ensure that they receive necessary instructions and are properly trained to perform their jobs. A noncommissioned officer’s duties are numerous and must be taken seriously. ~ Army Study Guide
Do yourself a favor and study this list of additional duties and see if any of them are a good fit for you. I truly believe that every officer and NCO should have at least one additional duty, to contribute to the success of the team and to learn a new skill.

Who was appointed to survey belongings of a member when they were deceased?
Fire Warden
Back in 1984 I had an additional duty to perform minimal barracks upkeep maintenance, what I couldn’t do, I referred to someone else, I’m drawing all blanks on what the position was called and who I referred job orders too???
If someone else could jump in and answer this, that would be great. Thanks.
Facility Manager?
R&U or repair and upkeep. That’s what I do at my unit.
What are the regs and references you pulled from?
“Here is the list, in no particular order:” Then gives the list in Alphabetical order…
Actually Steve, you may want to look closer. It is not in complete alphabetical order. Have a good day.
You left out BOSS Representative
Dont forget Environmental Compliance Officer
Never realized the amount of additional duties require of officers and NCOs… But, seeing as they’ve been recognized and proven as responsible, it makes sense for these duties to be delegated to officers and NCOs rather than a first year Private or someone like that.
Some young soldiers can get additional duties as well, but it’s typically reserved for officers and NCOs because they have experience and maturity.
Though it may be overlooked, I think that Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor is one of the most important additional duties available. Combat affects everyone differently and the rate of current and former soldiers who struggle with addiction is pretty high, it always has been. Whether it’s a soldier who is injured and gets addicted to opiates or just being overwhelmed and dealing with the stress of being away from loved ones. Having someone there to help these soldiers deal with their demons in a constructive way and stay, or get back on track will help them when they leave service as well.
I just now caught this comment Ty, and you made an excellent point. Alcohol and substance abuse can be a huge issue, and often it is looked upon as a normal thing with military personnel. I have seen many who we all think are doing just fine slip into “closet drunks,” and we don’t realize how bad it is until it is too late.
Very good comment and I agree, this would be a great additional duty that officers should consider.
This is a very good and well-researched list. I believe that a soldier would be wise in really researching how much that additional duty can help them after military service. I can see where many of these would be great experience for after military service in a civilian job.
Now “Fair Wear and Tear” officer—LOL. I am trying to think of an application for that in civilian life. (marriage maybe–Don’t you dare tell my wife..LOL)
Ones that I believe would be great choices are: 5,13,26,28,36,38 and many more.
Thanks. It took me a while to put this list together. I think all NCOs and Officers should have at least one other additional duty. It teaches them new things and gives them added responsibility. Obviously, some additional duties are harder and more time consuming than other duties. Those are the ones you want!
Had to sign a signature card and everything… Trust me, I was shocked/confused as well. I think our Supply NCO (I am the Automation Officer at a BDE HHC) must spend too much time reading the regs… (we didn’t have one when I was the XO of the NSC)
I just got appointed as the unit's "Fair Wear And Tear" Officer. That took some research….
If that’s a joke, it’s funny. If you’re serious, I’ve never heard of that appointed duty.
As I did some research into the “Fair Wear and Tear” officer, I believe that maybe the supply NCO had discovered something that many others don’t know. It seems the Financial Liability Officer does have a Fair Wear and Tear Officer to aide with the duties of whether a soldier or officer needs to pay for damaged equipment.

Special Duty Assignments
Performing Special Duty assignments is not only career enhancing, but also gives self-satisfaction while serving Soldiers. The following PDF explains some of the Special Duty assignments available for Soldiers.
Full PDF found here: SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENTS
**Special assignments include special management command and joint, HQDA, and HRC assignments that have special missions and require personnel with specific qualifications. Soldiers assigned to these positions will be stabilized for a period of 36 months. However, HRC may reassign Soldiers with less than 36 months in accordance with paragraph 3– 8 a (10). This section establishes policies for assignments to the following agencies:
a. International and OCONUS Joint headquarters, U.S. military missions, military assistance advisory groups, Joint U.S. military advisory groups, and similar activities. b. The U.S. Central Command. c. Headquarters, Department of the Army and HRC. d. The U.S. Disciplinary Barracks. e. The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command. f.

Joint communications support element. m. U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC).
**All personnel actions pertaining to nominative assignments are processed by HRC (AHRC–EPD). The normal tour of duty for these assignments is 3 to 4 years, unless otherwise specified by the individual agency. Soldiers assigned to these agencies are contact replacements requested by the appropriate agency approximately 9 to 12 months in advance of the incumbent’s scheduled rotation date. Stringent screening processes exist to ensure that only the most highly qualified Soldiers are selected for nominative posi- tions at the following agencies:
a. Office, Secretary of Defense. b. Joint Staff. c. Defense Commissary Agency. d. Defense Finance and Accounting Service. e. Defense Information Systems Agency. f. Defense Nuclear Agency. g. Defense Logistics Agency. h. Defense Intelligence Agency. i. Defense Mapping Agency. j. On-Site Inspection Agency. k. Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. l.

Offices of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army.
**Special Operations Forces (SOF) assignments require Soldiers able to excel in the performance of their duties in highly complex and dynamic environments throughout the full spectrum of modern warfare and peacetime missions. The nature of SOF missions requires a high state of readiness, therefore, Soldiers will be assigned on a priority basis. Stringent screen- ing processes exist to ensure that only the highest quality Soldiers are accepted and assigned. Soldiers who desire to apply for duty or assignment may do so without regard to current assignment. Only fully qualified Soldiers will be accepted for duty in the following assignments:
a. Special Forces positions. b. Civil Affairs positions. c. Psychological operations positions. d. U.S. Army Special Operations Command Operational Support and/or Force Sustainment positions. e. 75th Ranger Regiment positions. f. Special mission units’ positions. g. 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment positions. h. U.S. Special Operations Command positions.
