Learning Objectives

Terminal Learning Objective: Describe the principles of Smart

Testing

Enabling Learning Objectives:

• List the regulatory guidance for smart testing

• Define smart testing

• List the requirements for testing

• Summarize the intent of unpredictable random testing

• Recognize smart testing techniques

• Classify random selection methods as primary or alternate CUI

Smart Testing

• DOD Instruction 1010.01 is the formal mandate given to

the military services to update their substance abuse

programs

• DOD Instruction 1010.16 provides technical procedures

for how to implement a substance abuse testing program

• AR 600-85 is the regulation that governs the Army

Substance Abuse Program; keep it with you as a reference

CUI

Smart Testing

• Smart Testing is drug testing that is conducted in

such a manner that is not predictable to the testing

population

• Every Soldier should believe he or she can and

may be tested on any given day and any given time

CUI

Smart Testing

Requirement for random testing

• Test part of your unit monthly, when mission and

organizational structure allow

• Army-Directed rate of testing is 10% of unit strength

each month (Unit Sweeps are not counted towards this

requirement)

• All Soldiers to include the UDL, must be tested each

fiscal year

CUI

Smart Testing

Monthly Testing

May consider testing several tests of small percentage within the month if mission and organizational structure allow

Implementing Smart Testing techniques is critical because of the patterns that can be established

CUI 24

Smart Testing

Reason for urinalysis testing:

More than 10% of Soldiers, responding to a survey said

they would be likely to use drugs if the Army did not have

a drug testing program

25 CUI

Testing During Field Exercises

• Select every 4th person from the chow line and test after they eat

• Select every 3rd vehicle at the POL point and test all occupants in the vehicle

Testing at the End of the Duty Day

• Test at the end of the day or during end of duty routines such as recall formation of afternoon PT

Weekend/ Holiday Sweeps

• Test Soldiers during a long weekend

• Test Soldiers when the recall/alert system is tested

Pre-Deployment Post-Deployment

Testing

• Many Soldiers will think the Command won’t have time to test prior to deployment or upon returning

• Smart Testing strategies include testing the Soldiers when they least expect it

Back to Back • Test Soldiers on a Friday as well as a Monday

• Deters from abusing on the weekend

Smart Testing

CUI

Avoid Setting a Pattern

• Be unpredictable in your approach

• Alternate testing days, rather than the same day every week

Do Not Ask For

Volunteers

• Asking for volunteers is not random selection

• Compromises the collection process

• Results could be invalid, if collection

procedure is challenged in a court of law

• Soldiers are unlikely to volunteer if abusing drugs

Smart Testing

CUI 27

Smart Testing

Techniques

• Do not announce testing before notification

• Advance notice may give Soldiers enough time to flush

body with an excessive amount of fluid, which may dilute

the amount of drugs in their urine

• Give notice two hours or less before the test

• Avoid Signaling A Test

– Soldiers watch all your actions as a UDL

– You may provide cues that testing is going to occur,

impacting effectiveness of testing

– Keep supplies out of sight until the day of testing

CUI

Smart Testing

Techniques

• If You Select Them, Then Collect Them

– All Soldiers selected must be tested

– Don’t stop testing because it is the end of the duty

day

– Collection is only complete when the last Soldier’s

name is signed on the Testing Register

CUI

Smart Testing

• Know Your Random Selection Options

– The UDL and the Commander ensure the selections

for testing are truly random

– Approved random selection methods are computer-

generated and manual

– Computer-generated preferred and most-used option

CUI 30

Smart Testing

• Random Selection

• It is vital that testing is unpredictable

• Preferred method: computer-generated

– Drug Testing Program (DTP) 6.0

– Web DTP

• Software demonstration in a later lesson

CUI

Smart Testing

Random Selection

• Manual random selection methods (examples)

– Use a 10-sided die, Soldiers with a DOD ID number

that ends with the number identified will be selected

for testing

– Draw a number (0-9) from a hat, Soldiers with a DOD

ID number that ends with the number identified will

be selected for testing

– Write every Soldier’s name on a 3-by-5 index card,

then shuffle the cards and draw names from the deck

Smart Testing

Testing Date Quiz #2 What is true statement?

Lesson Summary

DOD Instruction 1010.01, DOD Instruction 1010.16, and AR 600-85 define the purpose and requirements for drug testing

The goal of Smart Testing is unpredictability from the Soldiers’ perspective

Use multiple Smart Testing techniques; avoids

signaling a test

Random selection is a critical component of Smart Testing; if you select them, then collect them

Learning Objectives

Terminal Learning Objective: Understand the types of testing

codes used for urinalysis collections

Enabling Learning Objectives:

• List Test Basis Codes and how to apply them

• List the substances tested on the drug testing panel

• Review Special Testing procedures

• Review Steroid Testing procedures

• Discuss the circumstances for retesting

CUI

Testing Codes

• There are ten test basis codes used for urinalysis testing

• Also known as the testing code, testing basis, or the

type of test

• Commander always orders the test and specifies the

type of test

• UDL’s enters the test basis code when generating

testing forms; must accurately identify every time a

collection is conducted

CUI

Testing Codes

• Inspection Codes:

o Inspection Random (IR)

o Inspection Unit (IU)

o Inspection Other (IO)

• Commander-Directed Codes:

o Probable Cause (PO)

o Command Directed (CO)

o Rehabilitation testing (RO)

• Other Codes:

o Accident (AO)

o Consent (VO)

o Medical (MO)

o Accession (NO) CUI

Testing Codes

Inspection Random (IR)

• Use when randomly selecting a portion of your unit for

urinalysis testing

• Most common testing code

• Select a percentage or a specific number of

Soldiers (10% per monthly requirement)

• No more than 40%

41 CUI

Testing Codes

Inspection Unit (IU)

• Use this code when testing 100% of your unit at once

• Do not conduct IU testing when the Commander suspects

only a single Soldier but does not have sufficient evidence

to order a test

• Conduct IU testing as a supplement to a good random

drug testing program

• Drug testing is about deterring drug use, rather than

“playing gotcha”

42 CUI

Testing Codes

Inspection Other (IO)

• Use in accordance with a Commander’s policy or Unit

SOP outlining circumstances for valid inspection testing

▪ Soldiers who were selected for testing, but were

unavailable during a recent random inspection

▪ Soldiers returning from Absent Without Leave (AWOL)

▪ Soldiers returning from passes or R & R

43 CUI

Testing Codes

Testing scenario (IO)

• Several Soldiers have returned from R & R CPT Baker’s

policy states, any Soldiers returning from R & R must

submit to a urinalysis test. In accordance with this policy

CPT Baker has asked his UDL to test these Soldiers

o The UDL uses the Inspection Other (IO) code

o Refer to your Commander’s written policy for guidance

on applying the IO code

44 CUI

CUI 45

Testing Codes

Probable Cause (PO)

• Use when the Commander has sufficient evidence that

a Soldier engaged in illicit drug use

o Consult with the local Staff Judge Advocate (SJA)

prior to ordering this test

o Special and Steroid testing must be based on

probable cause and have concurrence from SJA

Testing Codes

Testing scenario (PO)

• The Commander finds hypodermic needles in PFC

Brock’s room PFC Brock has no valid medical reason

for possessing the needles

o Use the PO code

o Consult with the local SJA before ordering PO tests

46 CUI

Testing Codes

• Also known as Fitness For Duty/ Competence For Duty

• Use when the Commander believes a Soldier is using

drugs, however, does not have enough evidence.

Could be based on the Soldier’s unusual or bizarre

behavior

Command Directed (CO)

CUI

Testing Codes

Testing scenario (CO)

• Over the past month, SSG O’Brian frequently has

reported late for duty and has displayed a decline in

personal hygiene

• Today, he reported for duty and is acting very strange

• Prior to this, SSG O’Brian had an exemplary attendance

record and got along well with his fellow Soldiers

• The UDL uses the Command Direct (CO) code

CUI

Testing Codes

Rehabilitation (RO)

• Commander orders a test as part of a Soldier’s

rehabilitation treatment program for drugs or alcohol

• Soldier must be enrolled in the treatment program

CUI

Testing Codes

Testing scenario (RO)

• SGT Madres is enrolled in the ASAP rehabilitation

program. She is participating in testing in order to

comply with the requirements of the program

• The UDL uses the Rehabilitation (RO) code

CUI

Testing Codes

Legal Ramifications

• It is imperative you assign the correct test basis code

every time you conduct a urinalysis test

• Using incorrect testing codes has potential legal

ramifications and limits Commander actions

• If you are ever uncertain of the type of test to use,

verify it by checking with the Commander (Commander

can consult with SJA), ASAP Representatives and AR

600-85

51 CUI

Testing Codes

Testing scenario

• SPC Bowmen is currently enrolled in treatment

• She is selected by the DTP software when the UDL

protected evidence is used

• Encourage Soldiers to voluntarily seek SUDCC for help

with their alcohol or drug problem

Limited Use Policy

CUI 70

Limited Use Policy

Protected Evidence

• Certain information “off limits” in legal proceedings, so

Soldier can get help without jeopardizing career

• Examples of Protected Evidence:

– Soldier voluntarily admits drug use prior to

notification of an upcoming drug test

– Information collected during emergency medical

care of a Soldier for an overdose

CUI 71

Limited Use Policy

(e.g., test basis of IR, IU, or IO) on a Soldier who is

enrolled in SUDCC

CUI

Limited Use Policy

Separation Policy

• Commanders are mandated to initiate separation on all

identified drug abusers, unless the abuser voluntarily

admits drug use directly or through Command

channels

• Soldiers who come forward voluntarily may still be

discharged, but the Limited Use Policy mandates an

Honorable Discharge

• Consult with the SJA to determine if the Limited Use

Policy applies; you are not a legal expert!

Delegation

Lesson Summary

Notify selected Soldiers immediately before a test,

but try to give no more than two hours’ notice

There are three briefings that must occur prior to the start of testing: Observers, Commander, and UDL Unit briefs

The Observers briefing explains the critical role for

Observers in testing

The Commander briefing serves as a legal order for Soldiers to participate in the urinalysis test

116 CUI

Lesson Summary

118

The UDL Unit briefing explains the tasks that

Soldiers must perform

During briefings, emphasize to Soldiers and Observers that tampering with samples has legal ramifications

There is no valid excuse for selected Soldiers to

avoid providing a urine sample

Adulterants

• Adulterants are substances used to alter biochemistry

in a way that deters detection of drug usage

• Adulterants can be taken internally prior to testing or

can be mixed in externally during collection

CUI 171

Collection Procedure

• Soldiers may try to flush their system ahead of a test

– referred to as “adulteration by dilution”

• Other common internal adulterants include:

– Golden Seal

– Urine Aid

– Vinegar

– Detoxify Brand Products

172 CUI

Collection Procedure

• Implement random testing and good Smart Testing

techniques to minimize impacts to testing from

adulteration

• Giving Soldiers little advance notice of a test reduces the

chance of successful adulteration

173 CUI

Collection Procedure

• External adulterants are added to or substituted for a

Soldier’s urine

• Examples include:

– Water

– Baking soda

– Soap

– Perfume

– Cleaning solvents

174 CUI

Collection Procedure

• Properly performed direct observation during collection

helps reduce attempts to use external adulterants

• Observers need to maintain direct line of sight with the

specimen at all times so that they can detect if a

Soldier attempts to add an external adulterant

175 CUI

Collection Procedure

Observers must notify the UDL immediately upon returning

to the testing station of any suspected adulteration

office

• You may be required to assist in packing and shipping

CUI

Post-Collection-QC

• Verifying Documents

• Compare DOD ID #

• Check that the DOD ID matches for each Soldier on all urinalysis testing forms

• If a DOD ID does not match on all forms, the Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing

Laboratory (FTDTL) will reject the specimen without testing it

CUI

• A bottle should only have one label

• Bottle labels must reflect edits you made on other urinalysis testing forms (DD Form 2624 and Testing Register)

• The testing lab rejects specimens without testing, if the bottle label has an uncorrected discrepancy

• Correct discrepancies directly on the label, only if the Soldier is still present-No Certificate of Correction needed

• Complete a Certificate of Correction to document a discrepancy if the Soldier is not present (no changes to the DOD ID #) i.e., collection date, or UIC

• You must document chain of custody when removing

specimens from storage

• Chain of custody must remain continuously and

forensically intact until the specimens are received by the

courier/shipping agency, and subsequently the drug testing

laboratory

• The UDL who collects specimens should be the UDL who

turns in the samples to the DTC

• Document change of custody if another UDL is turning in

specimens

CUI

Post-Collection-Storage

266

To transfer specimen custody to an alternate UDL in the

case of an emergency, perform these steps:

• The original UDL closes out the DD Form 2624

(front) and indicates a change of custody (back)

• Alternate UDL prepares a new DD Form 2624 with a

sequentially new batch to continue collection

CUI

Post-Collection-Storage

268

Specimen storage in deployed areas

• Commanders in deployed areas should make every attempt

to ensure specimens requiring storage are properly secured

if facilities are not available; fully comply with the storage

guidelines

• In deployed areas only, alternate storage may include a foot

locker or similar container if it meets these conditions:

– A padlock to which the primary UDL has the only key

– Location in the Unit’s tactical operations center or other

area under constant surveillance

CUI
