English term or phrase: work crew assignments

The larger context is in a minimum security prison setting, where the inmates go out on "work detail" (a term borrowed from the military) in the form of crews each day. Their "work assignment" (what they have to do) changes from day to day, hence . . .

'Work crew assignments are identified as "high security" or "low security."'

OK I think that will work. I was thinking about, «Las tareas de caudrilla son . . .». What do you think?
