what is a cq shift in the army?
airborne
charge of quarters, commonly called cq, functions in a somewhat similar manner. 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.
