Alcohol and drug control officials Al Vii corps Headquarters at Kelly Barracks in Stuttgart a heir statistic indicate thai drug abuse is declining dramatically. They Point to clean team and the threat of increased testing As he reason. Wit Hardy who Heads the corps dog and Alco hol program said wednesday thai the number of soldiers who tested positive for drug abuse was Cui by More than half Between october 1986 and sep.1 Tom bar 1987. Oul of 101,924 urine samples collected from Vul Bui in fiscal l�87, when clean team debuted 115,888 Sample from Vii Corpa soldiers tested in Wiesbaden showed a 1.9s percent positive rate. In the athletic portion of the program Hardy said Only one Soldier tested positive since june 1936. Hardy said the threat of increased testing under can team is deterring drug abuse. Fart of this deterrent lies in the fact that under clean team soldiers know when they arc going to be levied. A unit commander tells his troops that he is going to lest them before an exercise gunnery or Readi Ness my or major sporting event. Abusers then have 30 Days to turn themselves in Tor rehabilitation of after this Grace period they still test positive the commander usually orders a court mar tial. Hardy said clean team does not work in Ijo Lalton. A Soldier cannot time his abuse to leapfrog Over the announced tests. Clean team works along with our regular unannounced urinalysis testing unit sweeps and those Esti of sold Itra individually suspected of abuse Hardy said. Capt Janet Laurie Cal 1st army div alcohol Gad drug control officers id division soldiers have twice the Chance of being tested than before clean team came on Board. She pointed out thai clean team is still urinalysis but structured differently. Coggins unit was getting ready for a three Day read incas test in february when 1st sgt. Robert Mcnealy called his soldiers Inlo he co a Day room to be tested. While waiting. Set. Hollis Howton 24. Said he was t so sure clean team is a Good idea. The Soldier can plan his drug abuse better with clean team he said. Hardy does t think so. He Points out that even if u. Soldier fays off drugs after the 30-Day warning regular urinalysis will pick him up. Besides we be kept him off drugs Tor that  another Vii corps official said be doubts that the real hardcore abuser would be Able to Stop during the Grace period and would definitely turn up positive. Two soldiers said they were concerned Aboul teas that mistakenly turn up positive. Hardy said thai is very unlikely. Each Sample that Comet up positive at local labs is sent to win Baden for verification. Hardy stressed that urinalysis is not the whole pro Gram. Education  he said. Our aim is not to catch drug abusers but to Stop drug abuse. But if people do continue we want them  meanwhile the number of Vii corps samples test ing positive Between october and january shows a continued decline. February results also Are in but not official yet. They indicate that 0.097 percent of about 32,000 soldiers tested positive.
