| 4 – 8. Special drug testing programs a. Alcohol and other drug abuse by Soldiers in critical safety or security positions is of special concern because of the adverse impact on readiness, public health and safety, operations, life and property, and the possible disclosure of national security information. To minimize safety and security risks, special provisions allow (1) Release of potentially disqualifying information obtained from the Soldier during the SUD evaluation and treatment) Suspension and/or revocation of a Soldier’s access to classified material, chemical agents, or nuclear agents. (3) Restriction or suspension of aviation, firefighting, police, corrections, rigging, and certain medical duties. (4) Notification to the Department of Defense Consolidated Adjudications Facility (DoD CAF). (5) Increased frequency of random testing. See paragraph 4–2c for guidance on random UA testing rate. AR 600–85 • 23 July 2020 28 b. Alcohol and drug abuse by Soldiers with access to top secret or sensitive compartmented information is of particular concern because of the potential adverse impact such abuse may have on national security. Therefore, all Soldiers who maintain atop secret clearance or have sensitive compartmented information access are required to submit a UA specimen a minimum of once in each fiscal year. Participation in the SUD treatment program is not in itself sufficient cause to identify a Soldier as a security risk in accordance with AR 380 – 67. However, circumstances of a given case may warrant suspension of an individual’s access to classified material. (Refer to AR 380 – 67 and/or the supporting security office for guidelines on suspending access to classified information and/or reporting information to the DoD CAF.) c. The Biological, Chemical, and Nuclear Surety Programs are command programs designed to ensure that only those Soldiers who comply with the highest possible standards of reliability are allowed to perform duties associated with biological, chemical, or nuclear agents. Such reliability is maintained through the initial and continual evaluation of Soldiers assigned to Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) duties. No one is assigned to a PRP position until screened and certified by the certifying official. The failure of an individual to be certified for PRP duties does not necessarily reflect unfavorably on the individual’s suitability for assignment to other duties. The decision to remove or disqualify a Soldier enrolled in the PRP is a command decision. ASAP policies are designed to fully support the Biological, Chemical, and Nuclear Surety Programs (refer to AR 50 Download 3.47 Mb. Share with your friends:
