What are Implied Duties
Implied duties often support specified duties, but in some cases they may not be related to the MOS job position. These duties may not be written, but implied in instructions. They are duties that improve the quality of the job and help keep the unit functioning at an optimum level. In most cases, these duties depend on individual initiative. They improve the work environment and motivate Soldiers to perform because they want to, not because they have to.
