Hello. This appears in a list of work that military personnel might be required to perform as part of their military service.
The translation "fatigue duties" has been suggested to me, but I'm not sure if this is an outdated term now.
Does anyone know what we would call this nowadays?
Many thanks.

I think "fatigue duty" may be a bit too broad, in most instances.
Ref.:
fatigue duty | Definition of fatigue duty by Webster's Online Dictionarywww.webster-dictionary.org › definition
Noun, 1. fatigue duty - labor of a nonmilitary kind done by soldiers (cleaning or digging or draining or so on); "

Note from asker:
| Hi. Yes, I can't work out whether the Russian refers to day-to-day chores/housekeeping, or to a specific type of labour. In that case, what would the Russian be for "fatigue duty"? |
