2. Page 4, para 2a(1):

a. The procedure recommended was necessary i n all uni ts prior t o the initiation of the present Vietnam Drug Program which became effectiv~ on or about 25 October 71 .

b. Under the present p~ogr3m, it is not necessary for a command t o ~ol~ a drug abuser in his unit once he has been identified . ~s soon as a ?erscn comes u~ po~itive on a uri nalysis , that pers on can be sent t o t he Drug Trea t -ment Center or the Drug Abuse Holding ~":mter. Circumstances and desir es of the commander will dictate which of ·che nlo facilities s nould be utilizec .

c. under the present exemption program, the commander may once again send t he individual to the Drug Rehabilitation Center ar hold hi m i n t he unit for a maximum of 7 days at which time he is considered drug free . If t he individual is identified as positive on a urinalysis any time after release from the Drug Rehabilitation Center or the seven day hold in tne unit , he is eligible for the Drug Treat ment Center or the Drug Abuse Ho1ain6 Center.

\ d. Th~ present Vietnam Drug Program is thereforE) so organized t hat it

is nut nr~essary for a commander to hold drug abusers for maximum period of time ~ his unit .

3. Page 6, para 2g: One of the primary blocks to communicat ions i n add itiontto di8tance within MR 1 are -the ter rain f eatures, in particular, the Hai Van Pass. In an attempt to overcome this obstacle , the convoy control elements responsibilities were passed to an element on the far s i de of the Pass as the convoy moved over the top of t he Pass .
