Special Duty availability: which statement is true?

Special Duty availability: which statement is true?

• A. Special Duty is available to all AFSCs to step out of their career field and perform a specialized job under a controlled tour.
• B. Special Duty is available only to officers.
• C. Special Duty requires no tour.
• D. Special Duty requires deployment.

Answer: (A)

Special Duty is a program that lets service members take on a specialized assignment outside their usual career field for a defined period. It applies to all AFSCs, not just officers, and it operates under a controlled tour that specifies the duration and supervision. That combination—open to all AFSCs, stepping out of the current career field for a focused role, and conducted under a defined tour—is what makes this statement true. It’s not limited to officers, and it isn’t about an indefinite change or about deployment being a requirement; the tour, not deployment, is the key feature.
