What is a common outcome of a duty limitation?

A common outcome of a duty limitation is indeed restrictions on performing primary duties. Duty limitations typically arise from medical considerations, safety concerns, or specific assessments regarding an individual's capability to fulfill their roles. When limitations are put in place, they often directly affect the individual’s ability to perform certain job responsibilities that may pose risks to their health or the safety of others.

For example, if a service member has a medical condition that affects their mobility or endurance, they may be limited in physically demanding tasks. This ensures that they do not compromise their safety or the operational effectiveness of their unit. Hence, such restrictions are crucial in maintaining safety standards and ensuring that personnel are fit for duty.
