Incompatibility of Substance
Abuse and Government Service

Alcohol and drug abuse are incompatible
with military service (AR 600-85), and any
use of illicit drugs is considered abuse. The
irresponsible use of alcohol (i.e., drunk on
duty or driving under the influence of
alcohol) is considered abuse and is subject to
judicial and/or nonjudicial action.
