Can senior NCO’s make soldiers drive from home to a duty during harsh conditions such as frozen roads?

Is there a regulation on this kind of stuff. I understand that a duty must be preformed such as CQ and Staff Duty. However in my mind it’s very dangerous to have soldiers who live 15+ minutes away from post to preform such duties when they can have someone who lives on base preform it. And have their duties switched up. Is there any regulation on this.

For some living off post is required like married or single NCOs. Driving when roads are considered Red as a safety indicator the soldier should not risk it. It is a judgement call and the person might come later in the day when roads clear.

Where and why a soldier lives is not the issue here. Poor planning is. Soldier wants to be told someone else will do his job because he cant get to work. as the roads have ice on them today. I assume they were ok yesterday so he should have come on post thenI am sure there was someplace in the units area he could find a place to sleep. SM is issued field gear that includes something to sleep in.

only in a safe situation and if an emergency arises. Otherwise don't put soldiers at risk or the leaders, either
