The Army's Role in the War on Drugs

Abstract

Drug use continues to become more prevalent throughout our country. Its use cuts across all economic, social, geographical, racial, and other aspects of our society. Governments at all levels are becoming increasingly aware of the growing involvement in drug use by their citizens. Many are unsure of how to solve the problem or how to attack it. The Army has been involved in curbing and controlling drug use within its forces for several years. This paper reviews the Army's program in curbing substance consumption and outlines ways other governmental agencies and civilian entities may decrease illegal drug usage within their domains. Keywords: Law enforcement; Drug abuse; Drug trafficking; Smuggling.
