Drug Testing Program

Military drug testing is a commander’s program. ASAP assists commanders in assessing the security, military and civilian fitness, and discipline of units through the use of forensic drug testing. ASAP’s Drug Testing Coordinator (DTC) administers testing and provides information to commanders about smart testing, and current drug trends. Commanders are directed to conduct monthly random testing of 10% percent of unit strength.

The DTC also conducts and supports the Drug-Free Federal Workplace testing program.
