DAFI38-108 defines additional duties and distinguishes them from inherent position responsibilities and temporary augmentation tasks. It establishes management guidance, approval roles, mission-focused review, and waiver processes for additional duties.
Applies to: This instruction applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, United States Space Force (USSF), Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve.
A DAF directed additional duty is a task, or a collection of tasks, required by federal law, executive order, or departmental publication, which may or may not directly support the unit’s primary mission.
Duties that are commensurate with a specific position/role within an organization, such as a commander, or other senior level, are not typically considered additional duties as they are inherent to the position.
The number of additional duties which do not directly contribute to a unit’s mission should be kept to an absolute minimum and eliminated where possible, unless required by law or policy.
MAJCOM, FLDCOM, Numbered Air Force, and local commanders should not impose any new additional duties that do not directly enhance mission accomplishment.
Commanders at all levels must make a concerted effort to effect continuous process improvement in how the DAF conducts business and reduce the excessive demands on their Airmen's and Guardian’s time.
