Army's Role in the War on Drugs

Abstract

As early as the 1960s, during the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense (DOD) realized that there was a growing drug and alcohol abuse problem in the military. In an attempt to defeat this problem, the DOD implemented numerous organizations and programs aimed and informing, educating, and rehabilitating potential and identified drug and alcohol abusers. As a result, the military has made great strides against the war on drugs and the abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs.
