What type of responsibility is the obligation of a person to ensure all Government property in their custody is properly used and cared for?

Direct responsibility means the person who has government property in their custody is personally accountable for making sure it is used properly and kept in good condition. This duty follows from the fact that they are the one handling and using the asset, so they must ensure proper operation, care, maintenance, and reporting any issues. It isn’t about supervising others or merely safeguarding the item for the organization; it’s about the individual’s day-to-day obligation to use the property correctly and prevent damage or waste.
