Which regulation governs accepting the duties and responsibilities of current rank and duty position?

• A. AR 600-20
• B. AR 15-6
• C. DA Pam 611-21
• D. FM 7-0

Answer: (A)

You’re being tested on which regulation covers the obligation to accept the duties that come with your current rank and duty position. Army Regulation 600-20, Army Command Policy, sets the standards for how leaders and soldiers exercise authority and accountability, including the expectation that once you hold a rank or occupy a duty position you accept and perform the responsibilities that come with it. This makes AR 600-20 the governing rule for taking on those duties and being accountable for them. The other options don’t address this specific requirement: AR 15-6 covers investigations, DA Pam 611-21 relates to military occupational classification and structure, and FM 7-0 focuses on training and leader development rather than the formal acceptance of duties tied to rank and position.
