Additionally, most of the work at the DTC can be performed while sitting or walking throughout the facility; however, there may be times when the ASA may be asked to engage in mild physical activity in support of activities for Veterans at the facility or during community outings. The ASA has a purchase card and could be asked to retrieve items ordered from a supply store. The ASA may also be required to drive a GOV to pick up supplies. The ASA may also be required to engage in other duties as assigned to ensure uninterrupted service delivery to internal and external customers, consistent with the continuum of services offered at the DTC.
