- "' CQ "'or "'Charge of Quarters "'is a tasked duty in which a United States armed forces service member is to guard the front entrance to the barracks.
- CQ shifts rotate throughout the entire company, with just two recruits from the company staying awake per shift . The actual Charge of Quarters is the drill sergeant, and the pair of recruits staying awake are the " runners, " meaning that they perform tasks for the CQ . They perform some of the same duties as the fire guard shift . Only the CQ on duty is permitted to open the barracks doors, and the runners must alert the CQ if someone else attempts to enter or leave the barracks.
