The Risk Reduction Program (RRP) is a program designed to work with Commander’s to decrease Soldier high-risk behaviors, thus increasing Soldier and unit readiness. The program has been developed to help identify high risk behaviors by utilizing a coordinated effort between commanders and installation agencies to implement effective intervention strategies.

The Commander's Risk Reduction Toolkit (CRRT) is a module within the Army Vantage platform that provides Command Teams with Unit trends and individual Soldier risk data to assess readiness. The intent of CRRT is to enable Commanders and RRPCs to more effectively monitor high-risk behavior in their units and engage with Soldiers at the earliest sign of a potential issue. Command Teams at every level need to have an active account with CRRT affiliation in Vantage. Accounts can be requested at https://vantage.army.mil. (CG Policy Letter #7)

The RRP coordinates quarterly Installation Prevention Team (IPT) meetings, chaired by the Garrison Commander as part of the 1ID Operation Victory Readiness Council (OVRC) battle rhythm. Unit participation includes the Brigade XOs. The meetings are to review current risk factors and plan for upcoming prevention strategies based on historical trends. The primary goal of the IPT is to assist commanders in developing prevention strategies to reduce high risk factors, which may have a detrimental impact on Soldier and Unit Readiness.

The RRP also offers the Unit Risk Inventory (URI) survey. This survey is an anonymous questionnaire designed to screen for high-risk behaviors and attitudes that compromise unit readiness. The URI is now electronic and is administered to the unit no later than 120 days prior to deployment and between 30 and 90 days after redeployment. If a unit is not in the rotation/deployment cycle, the URI is administered annually. The results of the URI will be used to adjust training and prevention efforts within the unit to reduce high-risk behaviors. The URI is also a great tool for new commanders to assess the climate within their new unit. (CG Policy Letter #7)

The Prevention Team is a personnel readiness program that continues to be vital to the 1st Infantry Division Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) as dictated by statutes and Department of Defense (DoD) Directives. Our Prevention team supports America's Warfighting Center Commanders with:

* A proactive program that focuses on prevention and education.

* Identification of high-risk areas and command consultations.

* A single source of authority for effective and efficient program operation.

As the Prevention Services Team, we continue to utilize emerging technology to enhance our services, efficiency and productivity by disseminating information to our local communities in a cost-effective method. The Internet offers our Prevention Team the opportunity to provide numerous materials and information available to our customers. The Prevention Team is a combination of programs and services developed and designed to support the mission of the 1st Infantry Division.

Fort Riley tests all civilians that meet the stipulations required within the guidance of the Drug-free Federal Workplace Testing Designated Positions description. This program is outlined in Army Regulation 600-85, Chapter 14 - Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) Civilian Services, Section 20.

These positions are defined by Executive Order 12564 as sensitive positions and are called Test Designated Position (TDP)/ Commercial Drivers License (CDL) (See Executive Order 12564, Section 7, Para (d)). Provided below are the sensitive positions or categories of positions that involve law enforcement, national security, the protection of life and property, or public health or safety which have been identified as Test Designated Positions. These positions have duties and responsibilities, which are consistent with the parameters established by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Employees in these Test Designated Positions are subject to random testing that occurs without suspicion that a particular individual is using illegal drugs. Frequency of random testing will conform to Department of Defense guidance. (Refer to Para 3-2f (6) in DA Pam 600-85 for additional instructions regarding the frequency of random drug testing.)

1. Positions that authorize the incumbent to carry firearms.

2. Positions that require the incumbent to operate a motor vehicle transporting one or more passengers on at least a weekly basis.

3. Operators of motor vehicles who are required to have a commercial driver's license and who drive motor vehicles weighing more than 26,001 pounds, or drive motor vehicles transporting hazardous materials.

4. Positions that require the incumbent to maintain a Top-Secret clearance or have access to Sensitive Compartmented Information.

5. Railroad operating crews and railroad personnel in positions in which the duties include handling train movement orders, conducting safety inspections, or the maintenance and repair of signal systems.

6. Aviation flight crewmembers, air traffic controllers, and aviation personnel in positions in which the duties include dispatching, safety inspections, or the repair and maintenance of aircraft.

7. Army Substance Abuse Program positions in which the incumbent provides direct rehabilitation and treatment services to identified illegal drug users.

9. Positions, which require duties involving the supervision or performance of controlling and extinguishing fires, and/or the rescuing of people, endangered by fire.

10. Positions which require the handling of munitions or explosives in connection with the manufacturing, maintenance, storage, inspection, transportation, or demilitarization of these items.

11. Positions that require the incumbents to electroplate critical aircraft parts.

How long does it take to receive results from a civilian biochemical test, and who will receive the results?

It can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks for a sample to be evaluated as a negative result and be sent to the Prevention Coordinator (PC). A result evaluated with a positive status can take anywhere from 2-5 weeks. The Drug Testing Coordinator (DTC) will not receive these results. All results are forwarded to the Medical Review Officer (MRO) and Prevention Coordinator.

How does the random selection process occur?

The Civilian Personnel Activity Center updates the Test Designated Positions roster monthly, additions; deletion or changes are made monthly to the Test Designated Positions pool within the Army Drug Testing Program. The Prevention Coordinator uses the Army's computerized software to randomly select the number of Test Designated Positions to be tested at any given date. The computer will then provide a listing of names for the test. There is no human factor in the random selection process. The Prevention Coordinator cannot specifically pick names for the random test as the program is designed to prevent this.

Once the selection process is completed, the Prevention Coordinator will contact the selected individual's supervisors. These supervisors will then notify the selected members. That selected individual will then have two hours to arrive at the Drug Testing Collection Point to provide a specimen so that the biochemical test can be administered.
