What is the military installation standard on how far out a soldier has to be notified before being put on staff duty or CQ?

So when the green book states
‘the standard behind the DA 6 is to provide our soldiers predictability of when they will work a 24 hour duty at least 30 days in advance”
Does that mean the soldier has to be notified 30 days out or can the soldier get put on staff duty or CQ the morning of the shift?
Asking for a friend.

The "standard" is how it should happen, not how it has to happen or else you get a free pass.

So if the standard is not met by this guy's friend's chain, will they get in trouble the same way he would if he doesn't meet any standard?

SGT Hector Rojas, AIGA, SHA - I think you already know the answer to that.
The "standard" that the OP refers to is post policy in a "green book".
That's a guidance, in that context, "standard" is a goal.
A standard such as AR 600-9 is regulation, in this context the standard is regulatory requirement, with defined Go and No Go, mandatory consequences for failing to meet standard clearly spelled out in black and white.

How far out does a Soldier HAVE to be notified? 1 minute.
How far out SHOULD a Soldier be notified? Really as far out as practicable.
The DA 6 should be posted prior to the start of each months - the earlier the better. Most units I was in, the goal was mid-month, and the No Later Than was the 25th. Each unit has their own standard, generally set at BN Level (but sometimes directed down from higher echelons). But... shit happens.
If SPC Schmedlap is schedule to go on duty at 0900, and gets a Red Cross message at 0745, SPC Frankenschmitz is going to end up getting a call at 0830 that they now have duty, TODAY. If SPC Schmedlap reports for duty at 0900, and then is attacked by a raccoon and sent to the hospital while doing security checks, SPC Frankenschmitz is going to get a call at 1015 that they have duty NOW. Etc.
This should, however, be the EXCEPTION, not the rule.
