Foreword

  • As one of the Army’s commanders you are at the forefront of the drive to stamp out alcohol and drug misuse in the Service. The Army is proud of its achievements and our reputation for excellence that is underpinned by our Values and Standards.
     
  • For the Army and the individual the consequences of substance misuse (alcohol and drugs) can be extremely harmful.
     
  • The material in this guide is designed to assist you in conjunction with ITD(A)12, in explaining to soldiers under your command about the dangers of substance misuse and the Army’s robust policy towards those who do not comply with it.
     
  • You have a vital part to play in getting this message across to the soldier, who comes from the younger elements of a society which increasingly regards excessive drinking and the taking of illegal substances.
